My downline Kristin finally got a chance to pass on two swaps that Aunt Karen made for me from convention this summer. What a treat to have these in my sample box!!

Ahhhh fall...
Seems like it's really here!!! I've been stampin' up a storm of leaves around here. I think Lexicon of Leaves is one of my favorite sets right now! You won't find it in Stampin' Up!'s current catalog, BUT it is on the "dormant list" and is still available for $25.95!!
Card 1 I embossed some of the leaves in gold. Colors are Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango.
Card 2 I embossed the leaves in gold on water color paper and water colored them with my aqua painter. I also watercolored the sky in Bashful Blue. Colors are Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango and Bashful Blue. This card layout was very much inspired by a recent blog post by my sideline Cindy Lawrence!
Card 3 I tried the (smelly) "Colored Soot" technique. It involves brayering More Mustard ink on glossy cardstock, then touching the cardstock surface to a lit candle flame. Very smelly and a bit nerve-wracking, but a pretty cool look! After the flame leaves a soot covered surface, you stamp in it (More Mustard ink), and spray it with an acrylic sealer. That part is also pretty smelly, but I'm glad I tried it!
Feel free to contact me with any questions on these cards!

Autumn Days
I've really enjoyed this stamp set, especially now that we've had a taste of fall:0) Best stampin' time of the year! Look at the complete Autumn Days stamp set here. Click on the photos for a closer look!
The pheasant card shows the thumping technique. I also covered the bird with Crystal Effects. The second card I tried out some "faux stitching" with my paper piercer and white gel pen.
