Pals Paper Arts #16 Sketch Challenge

 

Today Pal's Paper Arts has a Sketch Challenge. The sketch is by our Pal, Margaret Moody. You will have fun with this one--I did! The images on Whisper White from the Autumn Days (115452) set are stamped in Always Artichoke, Elegant Eggplant, Ruby Red and More Mustard. These match the colors in the stripe pattern from Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper (115668) that I used on the base of my Always Artichoke card. I surrounded each of my punched circles with a punched scalloped square in coordinating colors.  I matted a bracket from my retired Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware with a piece of More Mustard. The hardware frames my Elegant Eggplant sentiment from Grateful Greetings (116511 Holiday Mini Catalog). 

I hope you will play along with us at PPA and please do leave your comments below so I know you were here.

Colored Leaves in a Row

I used Autumn Days leaf stamps in More Mustard, Always Artichoke and Ruby Red. They were stamped onto Whisper White card stock and framed with Really Rust and Bravo Burgundy cardstocks. I accented this panel with three Always Artichoke brads. I surrounded the panel with the More Mustard print from Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper. I topped off the front of the card with a retired piece of Bravo Burgundy Designer Ribbon. I used a snippet if the More Mustard pattern again to line the opening of the Small Open-End Envelope. This is going to be a thank-you card for a dinner we are attending.

I hope you will leave your comments so I know you were here. If you are in need of any Stampin' Up! supplies, I hope you will use my website to order any time, day or night.

PPA 9 Inspiration

Hello everyone! Today's Pals Paper Arts Challenge is an Inspiration Photo. This means you "study" the inspiration photo and then you create your card (or any paper item you wish) based on the colors and textures of the photo. It's fun! What jumps out at you about this photo? I hope you will play along.

I began by choosing the sketch from Mojo 101, which I printed out, but had never used for a card. From the inspiration photo above, I pulled out the colors Always Artichoke, Creamy Caramel, Very Vanilla and Pumpkin Pie. I added Chocolate Chip as a neutral background. I made my own "designer paper" by taking the pine cones image from Holiday Tag Team and coloring the two parts with my Stampin' Write markers and stamping them onto Creamy Caramel. I also colored the sentiment with my markers so I could have two colors on that image.

Shopping List:

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke, Creamy Caramel

Stamps: Holiday Best (hostess), Holiday Tag Team

Accessories: Paper piercing mat pack, metal circle die, Big Shot, Linen Thread, Playground Designer Series button, Theater Ribbon Originals satin Chocolate Chip ribbon, Stamin' Write Markers in Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke and Pumpkin Pie

Fall Anniversary

Friends who have a fall anniversary will be receiving a card much like this one. I love the colors in the Fall Traditions Designer paper from Stampin' Up! I have never used my Mark the Date (31-day calendar, sentiments and mini "markers" that fit into the circles) and Full Calendar (months of the year) stamps until now. This set is a keeper! It will always be good for a birthday, anniversary, or any holiday. I am going to order Calendar Alphabet and Numbers, too. This is a set of numbers that will fit into the circles on the Mark the Date calendar. Always a wishlist, I say!
