The color challenge this week at
ColourQ has a nice autumn theme, so I thought I'd ink up one of my leaf stamps for it.
Then I came across a new (to me) challenge called
Scrapbooker's Paradise so I thought I'd give their newest sketch a try.
I did a little rock-and-roll on my leaves from
Gently Falling in Pumpkin Pie and Rich Razzleberry. I think I even added in some Pear Pizzazz on the little one. This is a "two-step stamping" set so I heat embossed the outline with gold embossing powder (even though it doesn't look like it). I tried to replicate the sheaves of wheat in the image graphic with one of the stamps from
Tropical Party. Close, but no cigar, I say to myself. But I still kind of like it!
I'm on vacation this week and next and I foolishly thought that this would give me oodles of time to spend in my stamp room. How wrong I was! I seem to keep finding things to do around the house, coupled with trying to get some Christmas shopping done, so find myself neglecting my stamping. I hope I'm not the only one that is better at managing my time when I have loads of things to do rather than when I have nothing to do!
Thanks for stopping by!
