CutCardStock: Punched Pumpkin + Faux Patina

Hi, all!  I'm back with  my final project for the CutCardStock blog.  It's been a wonderful company to work with--many thanks to Amber, the DT coordinator, and Cindy, the owner, for everything! :)  Today, I'm sharing a fun card using a Faux Patina panel and a punched pumpkin, AKA a Punchkin.  Take a peek...

I used Classic Crest Solar White, Curious Metallic Cognac, Curious Metallic Mandarin, and Muscletone Kraft cardstocks for my card.  These papers are gorgeous and such a high quality!  The shine is absolutely STUNNING in real life.

I went with an autumnal color scheme because I am SO ready for fall. ;)  I think this turned out beautifully.  I hope you do, too!  I can't wait to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I invite you to visit the CutCardStock blog for a full tutorial on how to make this card.  One last THANK YOU to Amber and Cindy, as well!  I will be back soon with more crafty endeavors, friends!   HUGS and happy stamping to you all! :)

House of Cards: Metallic

Hi, all!  Time for another monthly challenge at House of Cards!  This month, we've got a word cue for you--"Metallics"!  Let it inspired you however you choose. :)

I decided to try my hand at Faux Patina.  You can take a peek at my tutorial video on it HERE or at the House of Cards challenge blog.  I made a faux patina-ed base for the rest of my fun metallic embellishments.  Check it out...

I added some beautiful metallic flowers, made by my friend, Cohenna, as well as some leaves, a half doily, a punched trim, and metallic ribbons and elastic cording to the top of the card.

The bottom of the card was where I put the sentiment.  This sweet one is from the Flower of the Month: Poppies stamp set from Inspired By Stamping!  And take a closer look at the effect of the patina technique, too.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the way this turned out!  I adore this fun technique, and it is SO easy, so make sure you check out my tutorial video!  I also cannot wait to hear what you think of my creation, so please do leave a comment below!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and taking a peek at my creation. :)  I hope you come and join our current challenge at House of Cards--I always LOVE seeing what you come up with!  Don't forget to take a peek at the amazing DT work, too!  You will be INSPIRED.  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)
