Cheers - Pumpkin Spice - AHSC 443

Hello! Today I am back with another project from my Pumpkin Spice workshop and that I created for the AHSC Design Team. I had so much fun playing with these papers, I am a total sucker for all things fall....except Pumpkin and Pumpkin flavours! But I do love the feel, the colours, the sense of change all of those things!

When I saw this stamp set I could not wait to get it and play with it. For this one I used my water colour pencils to colour it in, I need to up my skills with the water colour pencils so I forced myself to use them and practice some shading, I think it came out ok.  For an added touch on the whipped cream I added clear shimmer brush, it is hard to see in the picture but it is there!

Products Used:

Paper:

- Pumpkin Spice

- Harbour, Shortbread, Paprika, and White Daisy

Stamp/Thin Cut:

- Z4322 Pumpkin Treats

Embellishments:

- Z3274 Clear Sparkles

- Z3293 Clear Shimmer Brush

Merry & Bright - Holly & Ivy - H2H

Hello! Happy fall to you! The temperatures are changing and we are seeing the leaves starting to change and I am all for it. I do love summer but I also fall (and spring, not a winter fan!)  So it is time for me to start thinking of Christmas...never time to start thinking of that, but when you make your own Christmas cards it is time to think Christmas cards!

So for our challenge at H2H this week, the theme is Sweet Treats and Christmas is all about sweet treats. I created this card for the challenge and my Holly & Ivy card workshop. This card reminds me of sweet treats you can drink around the holidays, hot cocoa and coffee shop inspired drinks. 

For the coffee mug, I masked off the pumpkin when I stamped it and then added a heart to match the larger coffee cup. I also added clear shimmer trim on the white areas that are whipped cream. 

Products used:

Paper:

- Candy Apple and White Daisy card stock

- Holly and Ivy

Stamp/Thin Cut:
