Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #6 - Stamps

It's time for a new challenge over at The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge!! This month our challenge is to use stamps in your mixed media project. Our sponsor is Unity Stamp Company and they are generously offering a $50 gift certificate to our lucky random winner!! All our designers used fabulous Unity stamps in their designs. Be sure to click over and see all the amazing creations our designers made for this months challenge.

I made a little wall hanging for my project. I started with a piece of fiberboard that I think I ordered from Scarlet Lime. I really like how one side of it is textured like burlap. I made that side the front. Then I added a corrugated cardboard panel and I inked the panel and edges with the Sepia Ink. I put an orange Tim Holtz trim around the cardboard panel. Finally, I added a Tim Holtz Holiday Thanksgiving trim for the hanger and attached it with the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher.

To make the turkey, I used an awesome set from Unity called Build-A-Turkey. I stamped all the feathers on different "fall" colored cardstock from Papertrey Ink and Stampin' Up using Ranger Sepia Archival Ink and cut them out. I adhered the wings and the turkey to the panel and added Espresso sequins from Pretty Pink Posh to each of the feathers. Then I added Fired Brick Distress Stickles to the turkey for a little accent. The sentiment banner is a die from Papertrey Ink and I added two orange sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. It was super fun to make and I really like how it turned out.

I hope you will play along with our stamps challenge this month. I can't wait to see what you create!!

Avery Elle Tag Challenge

I recently bought a few new stamp sets and dies from Avery Elle. I just love making fall items so this acorn and these leaves were perfect for me. I used inks and papers from Papertrey Ink, the tag die is from Pretty Pink Posh and the background of the tag was wiped up from one of my many spray ink projects. I used 2 Avery Elle stamps sets Thankful and Modern Leaves. I also used the Avery Elle Modern Leaves Elle-ments Dies. To make the ribbon I colored Tim Holtz trim with Peeled Paint Distress Stain and wrinkled it up. I'm entering this into the current Avery Elle Challenge #17 Tags. Thanks for stopping by!!

I made this card for the current CAS-ual Fridays Challenge - Fall Fun. I made this card using the Autumn Hills Stamp Set from Papertrey, Ink. I colored the little scene with Prismacolor Pencils and blended with Gamsol. The paper is Whisper White and River Rock from Stampin Up. The patterned paper is by Sassafras for Studio Calico. I adhere the little panel with pop dots. Thanks for taking a look!

Here's my card.
