This set is just getting me in the fall mood! When I think of fall, I think Halloween (which is one of my favorite holidays)! So for my first crack at these stamps, I went SPOOKY! I masked the face of the happy scarecrow and replaced it with evil eyes;) I used a cloud mask to make a foggy background. In the foreground are a couple of fussy cut trees attached to the frame. The oversized moon is made of vellum blended with yellow ink.
I used the new set "Graffiti" to make the custom sentiment. I love the slightly larger size of this set! And I appreciate that some letters have 2 options. Endless possibilities! I stamped the sentiment in white and heat embossed it with clear. This technique is good if you want a softer grayish color.
I had a little extra time play with fabby set, so I paired "Autumn Groves" stamps with some past Paper Smooches sets. My favorite thing about Paper Smooches stamps are the critters! They have so much personality:) So for this card, I used paired up a happy little beaver and silly fish:) You like the cheeky sentiment?
That's it for me today! Thank you so much for stopping by! I have one "Autumn Groves" stamp set to give away to one lucky person! You have until midnight on July 19th to leave a comment. I will post the winner here on Monday, August 20th.

JJ, I couldn't wait to see what you'd done with these stamps, and of course I wasn't disappointed! I can't believe we both made a little scene with the birch trees inside of a Polaroid-shaped frame! Yours is fabulously spooky, and I never would have thought to mask the scarecrow's face like that. Your second card totally makes me giggle! What a clever use of the "logs" and awesome sentiment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great transformation from happy scarecrow to "evil" scarecrow. Your "hot dam" card made me smile.
ReplyDeleteCute cards! I just love the scarecrow one.
ReplyDeleteHee! I love the pun-tastic second card - Hot Dam it's a good'un! ;D
ReplyDeleteThat scarecrow is definitely spooking me out a little! LOL!
Hugs!
