So Very Thankful

Greetings C9 fans! 

Playing along with their latest challenge:

A Color Challenge!

I had so much fun playing with C9's new set Thankful Leaves Turnabout.

Are you familiar with their turnabout stamps? Using a misti or other stamping device, you

stamp the aligned image and turning the stamped cardstock, stamp again, and 

again, achieving an all over pattern.

My first stamping was with versa mark and bronze embossing powder.

Next came Catherine Pooler's Sauna Ink, followed by the Ton's Peach Blossom.

Finally the 4th stamping was with PTI's Melon Berry.

The leaf, (Thankful Leaves dies) was cut with it's skeleton image in place, embossed 

several times with colors from Lindy's Stamp Gang,

Mermaid Seashells Set, and finally on the stem with bronze ep.

(Lindy's Midnight Copper)

I cut the leaf again, minus the veins, with vellum, and sponge inked the back, then,

clear embossed it.

The sentiment and several others come with the Turnabout set.

Thanks for the visit, and Happy Crafting!

12 Kits of Occasions August '16 'Sweet Pea'

It's time for 12 Kits' post, and this month we were

blessed with this kit from Lisa Elton from mypapertales!

She called her kit, 'Sweet Pea', and it lived up to the title!

Pinks, soft limey greens, and gold. And simply the sweetest

stamped images from a set I found out she designed!

Hope your coffee's handy, and you're comfy, I have lots to show you!

The scalloped edged paper is die cut from Make It Market Nostalgic Notions,
otherwise everything is from the kit. I created the button flower centers
by cutting circles from her pattern paper, and glossy accenting them.

Lisa designed these pea pods! Aren't they the sweetest? So perfect to copic color, and the sweet doll is from Pure Innocence.

Popped up the window frame and a few of the pea pods.

Don't you love those iridescent sequins?!

Lots of princess pink & gold!

The green dot tag had the pretty ribbon wrapped around it.

I cut Lisa's sweet pea flower from PTI Tag Sale #10.

Gold Foil paper was cut with PTI's Coverplate Circles, the rest, including the felt flower was included in the kit.

Waltzingmouse Pretty Circles die, 

'sweet' embossed PTI Strawberry Patch Sentiments.

Cuttlebug Simple Flowers embossing folder, and PTI's Trememdous Tags,

All the rest Lisa provided in this month's fabulous kit.

Don't miss seeing what the other 12 kits designers did with their kits.

Sure to be wonderful!
