Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge #21: Autumn Wishes

I made this card for my dad on his birthday last week and I'm finally getting to post it for

the Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge that Cecilia of Trade Fish Designs hosted.

Her challenge was to keep it simple using something beautiful and warm

with the fall season as your inspiration.

I inked up Leaf Prints and used my Woodgrain IP for this one. 

Pretty simple except that I used the rock 'n roll technique for those leaves....love this look!

I also want to mention that to "soften" the woodgrain and make it stand out, I

did sponge some Vintage cream ink all over the impressed woodgrain pattern.  I really like how it turned out!

I am also sending this card over to the CARDS blog for their hunt for cards with leaves!

Have a wonderful day!

{Happy Birthday}

August 2010 Papertrey Blog Hop!

It is officially Papertrey Blog Hop time!  This is one of my favorite times of the month!

This month's blog hop challenge was this:

"In honor of school going back into session everywhere, we thought it would be fun to issue a Brown Bag

Challenge. We want to see what you can do to dress up, alter, change an ordinary brown lunch bag into

a paper crafting work of art."

I received my new Papertrey goodies in the mail yesterday and broke them out to use for this card.

Leaf Prints.....awesome stamp set. Love love how you can stamp the veins in different colors over the leaves. And can you say matching dies? I am soo giddy over dies lately.....I think it has something to do with Papertrey! {wink}

I used my brown paper bag as the base of my card and I used my new leaf dies to die cut some leaves.  The leaves were stamped and crumpled up.....love that look! 

Have fun blog hopping with Papertrey!!
