Fall Colors!

You know how you can start out making a card in one direction, only to get totally turned around and head in another?  Well that's what these are all about!  I started out working on the Twofer Challenge - Holiday Greenery and started my wild and crazy water coloring.   Then the Inspired by...Blankets challenge kept sneaking into my brain so I ended up getting totally sucked into those blanket colors!  Needless to say, I did not use the "twist" and opted for two different occasions, though they could both look fall-ish, they are different as you'll see with the inside sentiment but I do admit they do have a similar "feel" so I hope they're different enough.  Without further yapping, here's the first card, a Fall/Thanksgiving ~


Once again, not so great photos, but you'll get the idea (this is actually cream cs)!  The sentiment was stamped on a leftover, splish-splashy piece of water coloring in fall colors that I made for the next next card.  I embossed the background, cut the leaves and placed them amidst the wind, and mounted the sentiment.  

And the second card, an Encouragement ~

Inside Sentiment ` To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.  Eccl 3:1'

I used the leaf dies still wired together and embossing the background, then placed the leaves cut from the water color panel onto some of the embossed areas.  The sentiment was heat embossed using liquid platinum ep.  And for the two together ~



Do you see the inspiration blankets now?  The colors are beautiful and inviting!  I'll be entering these at:

     

Supplies:
   Both -    LF Stitched Leaves dies
   Card 1 - LF Stitched Windy BG
                 PTI Autumn Hill
   Card 2 - CB In Stitches, Autumn
                 PTI Beautiful Blessings

Here's hoping you have a wonderfully, warm and cozy day!
Hugs,
TK

TK, what a brilliant idea to use those connected dies to impress their beauty onto that panel!!! BRILLIANT idea, and gorgeous results! Those are my all-time favorite leaves, as you probably know!
Two gorgeous ways to give thanks! Thank YOU for snuggling up to the IB Blankets challenge! xx

These are both so gorgeous and I am glad you got sucked into the Fall colors as I love them. Great job on these Twofers.

Your stitched leaves are beautiful and so are your cards. I really enjoy fall colors.

Happy Dance said...

Those leaves, on both cards, are fabulous TK! I love the watercolored ones especially, but the "plain" ones look just perfect against that cream and embossed background. The swirls give your first card such a wind-swept effect, too. Thanks for joining us at The Twofer Challenge! xo Bev

I'm intrigued by your using the dies to emboss the panels what a fabulous look that creates for your sentiments, panel and actual die cut leaves. Thanks so much for joining in at Twofer Card Challenge.

Your fall cards are both warm and inviting TK. Love that sentiment...how beautiful is that! Wish we experienced a bit of fall here, but I will have to suffice by enjoying your cards over at Twofer where I am guesting!

How fun to see holiday greenery not colored green, TK, especially while we are in the midst of beautiful fall color! (Well, here anyway. Those deep in snow already, not so much!) I love both your sediments and how they were done, the e/f to represent the wind, and your beautiful watercoloring! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #22! Hugs, Darnell

Beautiful Fall cards! I love the background embossing and watercoloured panel. Great idea to use vellum for sentiment. Love the inspiration too:)

Mac Mable said...

Yes I know exactly what you mean about a card starting off one direction and then another idea etc creeping in x.
Both cards look wonderful and I love the Autumnal colours and the two different designs. The sentiments look particularly fabulous x.

Laurel said...

Such pretty cards. Love the scattered leaves in the first one. thanks for playing at Inspired By.

The swirly embossing on that first card puts me in mind of breezy clouds, TK ... and creates such a great sense of movement for those fluttering leaves! The impressed background on your second card is genius ... the smooshy autumn leaves are fabulous against it! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)

My Hp Pavilion 15 laptop won’t start. I’m uncertain if it’s the electric
battery or what! I seriously need help!? Which
means this happened some time ago. I was in my own area on my notebook and my computer already
gave me an advance notice that it was time for me to get a new electric battery anyways and the only way
the computer would work is certainly unless I utilized the adapter and if I take
the charger off, I’ll turn of the laptop. I was
in my own room researching... show more Some notebooks possess
a change or sensor someplace on the electric battery bay that prevents a laptop from powering
on with out a battery. If this is actually the case, you will require a fresh genuine HP replacement battery before you can continue steadily to diagnose what's incorrect with the HP notebook computer.
Did you get yourself a group of beeps from the notebook during P.O.S.T?.
They often go through an activity called Power-On-Self-Test before they reach and approved the BIOS.
These beeps help a technician discover out the fault code that's then used to help diagnose the laptop.
How old is the notebook? Chances are the the mainboard, RAM,
GPU, SSD or HDD experienced abandoned if it had
been 10 or even more years old. I understand, because
I changed numerous these with old notebooks.
