Happy Fall

Hello Everyone! So, here at this part of the World it has started to look like fall. All the leaves changing their colors, tons of dry leaves flying by in the soft Autumn breeze. The cool weather and of coarse no SUN!! Well now this is the part I not quite like somehow. Despite it, I just heart fall colors and fall.

Today, I am guesting for the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog with a fall card. You can check the step out on their blog. I used a resist technique using the re-positionable glue for my background and I did used some foil and glitter. Love how the card came along.

Here is a close-up for you

What do you think about the fall colors and has fall arrived at your part of the World? What do you love about fall? It would be nice to know about it all :)

AiDT Reunion Blog Hop + Ai Spinners Release

Hello and Welcome to the Art Impressions Spinner stamps blog hop. You should have come here from Diane's Blog if not please check from the beginning at Art Impressions Blog.

I made a spinner card for the first time and really enjoyed creating this. My daughter can't stop playing and is having so much fun :) I used the Dog Spinner Stamp and Dies. I used my Imagine Crafts inks to create the background. I stamped the image using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and then embossed it using clear embossing powder. Then I colored it using Zig Clean color brush marker. I die-cut it using the dies and then adhered a silver thread sandwiched between the front and back part of the image.

Here is a close-up for you

Now how can a blog hop be a special one without some prizes. Art Impressions is generously giving away 7 prizes. 1 each of Stamp and die set, so don't forget to put in your name in the Rafflecopter below.
