Papertrey Ink August Blog Hop

A huge thank you to everyone who left comments for Sage

over the past few days while she guest-blogged for me!

She is over-the-moon encouraged by your support!

And thanks again, Sage, for being such a wonderful guest blogger!

You're the best!

From the comments received, it looks like you'd be quite welcome

to guest blog for me anytime... :)

It's the 25th of the month, which means that I'm playing along

with the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop, where this month's challenge is this photo:

I love these pinks, oranges and golds together!

I decided to use the colour scheme (orange zest, autumn rose,

scarlet jewel, sweet blush & gold), along with my new Brushed Off stamp set

to make a couple of cards.

My first card uses my new Leaf Silhouette dies.

I masked off my card and stamped the Brushed Off stamp repeatedly

across my card.

I stamped the sentiment (from Wet Paint) in onyx black.

I added a strip of Bazzill Basics Gold Foil.

I also diecut the leaves (one using the Leaf Silhouette die

and the second one from the Phrase Play #7 die.

On my second card, I stamped the same Brushed Off stamp

in the same colours. 

This time, I stamped the sentiment from Choose Joy

and added a strip of true black cardstock.

I diecut the leaves from vellum using the Songbirds die

and adhered it over the Brushed Off stripes.

Thanks for looking!
