October Cookies - Take 1

I am so glad that October is finally here and I really wish that the temperatures would reflect the season!! It has still been in the high 80's here and that is so NOT sweater weather. I want some crisp, cool Autumn days. Our Challenge photo this time reflects the lovely colors of the season.

I used clipart images this time and created a card that shows my favorite flavor of this time of year.  The images  are Pumpkin Spice by LePetite Market. I chose to use colored images for my project, but you can also get them as digital stamp images and color them yourself. 

• On an orange cardstock card base, I adhered a piece of dotted orange patterned paper. 
• I printed the clipart images of the pie and various coffees and fussy cut them.
• The sentiment is from a 6x6 paper pad by Prima Marketing - Amber Moon. I cut it out and mounted it on the upper left side of the card base using Tombow Foam Tabs.
• The clipart images were adhered to the card base using Tombow MONO Aqua Liquid Glue.

I hope you will comment on my card. Do you ever use clip art images on your cards ? Are you a digital stamper ?? I sometimes feel like a cheater when I use pre-colored images on projects. But these were too fun to pass up !! Take a look at the rest of the Design Team's projects and if you feel inspired, pleas link up one of your own. This challenge is open for 2 weeks and you could win a prize from our amazing sponsor Lemon Shortbread.

  

Thank you for visiting Meticulosity. I hope that you are enjoying some cool Fall weather in your part of the world.  Drink your favorite Fall beverage and stay creative !!

Until next time .....

July Cookies - Take 2

It's a tropical theme on our Challenge Blog at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie for the next 2 weeks and our sponsor this time is Lemon Shortbread.  They have some fantastic digis and coloring pages in their Etsy shop !! The inspiration for this challenge certainly got me in  a tropical mood.

I used a fun stamp set from Bombshell Stamps . They have the best vintage/retro designs  and I definitely had the perfect set for this challenge !!

• On a piece of Neenah Stardust White cardstock, I stamped the palm tree , hula girl, tropical flower and Mahalo to create a scene, using  Memories India Black ink.
• I also stamped several starfish and shells on the same cardstock with the same ink. The stamp are all from the Bombshell Stamps set Hula Girl .
• The images were colored with my Akashiya SAI Brush Markers .
• I fussy-cut the shells and adhered them near the palm tree using foam tabs and MONO Aqua Liquid Glue - both from Tombow.
• A piece of tropical patterned paper from an Authentique "Utopia" paper pad was adhered to the left side of a Kraft card base. 
• I adhered the tropical scene to the right side of the card, leaving the patterned paper showing on the left side. A Tombow MONO Adhesive+ Permanent runner was used. 
• A piece of thin gold washi and a piece of pink striped washi were placed lengthwise down the edge of the tropical scene.
• A bit of fine glitter was used for the pearl to add a bit of shimmer.

 

I was very happy with how this card turned out !! It was really a fun card to color !! I'm sure my teammates have created some fun projects that you can check out HERE on the Challenge Blog. Pull out your tropical stamps, paper etc. and link a project up before August 9. You just might win some fabulous digis from our sponsor Lemon Shortbread.

I'm so glad you visited Meticulosity to check out this Challenge.
