Back to Fall...

Here's a card I made for a demo swap I was in.  Generally, I like to keep things simple for myself and stay away from coloring.  However, when I saw this set I had to have it!    It's got a little bit of everything and only requires a smidge of work!  Paired up with some Comfort Cafe DSP and some water coloring using the ink from your pad and either a blender pen or aqua painter and you've got yourself a nice little wedding card.  Of course you could always crop out the wedding sentiment and use it for valentine's day, anniversary too :)

I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted!  Sorry about that!  I love posting to the blog since it's a great way to share and keep a record of what I've been doing but unfortunately, as soon as life gets busy it's the first thing the gets put on the back burner.  All I've got to say is that if you really would like to see what I post and hate checking and seeing nothing new, subscribe to the postings so it notifies you when I actually post :D

I'll keep this one short and I'll start with a card I made way back in June for a swap I'm in.  I know people have done pinwheels before but I have always loved them and just had to recreate one in our Floral District DSP and the Stripes textured embossing folder.  Clean and simple with a little fun mixed in!  You can barely notice it in the pic but I also sponged the white with Baja Breeze.
