Whispers from your soul

Clare here today with a card using Dream Catcher and Folk Art Blooms stamp sets. I love stamping on patterned paper, here I used Love Notes from Crate Paper, I just love the colors! The dream catcher I colored using Distress Markers and I added some glam rocks using the iRock tool from Imaginisce.

The sentiment is also from the Dream Catcher stamp set and I just inked the edges with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The flowers I stamped using Memento Luxe Love Letter ink and I did some repeat stamping without inking up again.

That's all from me for now! Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the USA! I hope you're having a great day. : )

Autumn Blessings

Clare here with an Autumnal card today. I combined two different stamp sets from our recent release - Autumn Borders and Speaking of Fall. I love stamping my background papers and the gorgeous leaf stamps in the Speaking of Fall stamp set are perfect for this. For a change I stamped them onto some textured Core'dinations cardstock and colored with watercolors.

I stamped the pumpkin border from Autumn Borders onto some more Core'dinations cardstock, colored with watercolors and fussy cut.

The sentiment is a mix of sentiments from both Autumn Borders and Speaking of Fall. I hope you enjoyed my card, thanks for visiting today! Here are the sets I used on my card.
