Fall is in the Air ~ September Collab with Fresh and Renewed with Teresa ~ Fall Sunshine ~ Not 2 Shabby

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm so excited! Today I'm starting a fun Collab with my sweet friend Teresa from Fresh and Renewed with Teresa. We will be sharing a Fall card or cards each Wednesday in September. 

I actually have two cards to share today using the beautiful Fall Sunshine paper pad and ephemera from Not 2 Shabby.

Here's a look at my first card! Aren't those sunflower papers just gorgeous?! I love them so much!

Each month I share a fun card sketch in my Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. My cards today use Sketch 3. 

I just love that sweet pumpkin, too! 

I changed up the background on this one by flipping two of the pattern papers so the opposite design would show. I think it gives the card nice contrast.

This ephemera piece didn't have a sentiment so I heat embossed a cute sentiment from the Acorn Greetings stamps from Unity. I stamped it with Sugar Cube pigment ink from Taylored Expressions on a scrap of black pattern paper and then melted the Alabaster White embossing powder that I had applied to the white ink. Trimmed it up and popped it up on the card along with the focal piece. Here's a link to my process video... Fall is in the Air | September Collab | Fall Sunshine from Not 2 Shabby

I sure hope you've enjoyed the cards I shared today. I hope you'll give my YouTube channel a visit and then stop by Teresa's YouTube channel, too! We're each having a giveaway this month for the Fall is in the Air series on our YouTube channels. I share a peek at my prize in my video {link above}. To be eligible you must comment on each video we share during the whole Fall is in the Air Series all month!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 4 ~ Ever So Thankful ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's the last Tuesday of August and that means I have a new Tawny Owl Paper Inky Inspiration Sketch to share... we're on Sketch 4 now! I hope that you've found some inspiration from the sketches I've been sharing. I know that they have come in handy for me! 

The beautiful Ever So Thankful stamp from Unity was just delivered to my house and I've been itching to ink it up and color so I thought it would be fun to play with it for Sketch 4. I paired it up with the Fall Y'all {paper pack} from Unity.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color up this beautiful image:

Acorn ~ E51, E55, E57, E59

Leaf ~ YG11, YG03, YG63, Y11, Y15, YR15, YR21, YR24, YR27, E55, E57

And a look at TOPII Sketch 4... I love the possibilities with that big white background! It would be great with ink smooshing or blending... not just pattern papers like I've used today.

I adhered all my layers together and then adhered them to an A2 card base of Kraft card stock from Papertrey Ink. I also used Kraft card stock to heat emboss the sentiment. I stamped it with Sugar Cube White Pigment ink from Taylored Expressions and then applied Alabaster White Embossing Powder from Brutus Monroe. I melted the EP with a Precision Wagner Heat Tool. I popped up the focal piece with some foam tape.

My card today is also a sneak peek of a fun collaboration that I'm doing with my sweet friend, Teresa. For more information check out my video... Ever So Thankful Card & A Sneak Peek!!

Did you check out my video?! What do you think about the sneak peek? I sure hope you like it and will follow along with us for the Fall is in the Air Collab! And if you're liking the fun new sketch I shared, I sure hope you'll join us in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I would love to see what you create with this sketch!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
