Fall card by Laura

by Laura Nistal on Nov 09 2022

Hello everyone!! I'm Laura and I'm very excited to be here again on the Picket Fence Studios blog showing this fall card that I hope will inspire you! To start I used the "Jolly Christmas Gnome" Stamps set that I stamped with "Black Hybrid ink pad" which is perfect for this type of stamps! Then I painted all the images with alcohol markers and then with a white marker I glossed it to make it stand out. Then i cut out the images using the "Jolly Christmas Gnome" coordinating dies but you can carefully cut them out with scissors if you prefer. Next I prepared the background: for this I used a white cardboard to which I added distress oxide inks in yellow and orange tones, also using the "Shadow of Leaves" stencil. Then I cut some leaves with the "More Oak Leaves" dies and added them to the background. For the sentiment I used the "Fancy Autumn Sentiments" Stamps that I used with the "Black Hybrid ink pad". Finally I prepared the composition, glued all the pieces and this is how the result was! I hope you like it and that it inspires you, I remember that you can find all these products and many others in the Picket Fence Studios store. A huge kiss and until next time! Laura

Joyeux Noel Nutcracker

by Michelle Bala on Nov 07 2022

Hello there! Michelle here, sharing a non traditional take on a Nutcracker. while scrolling through Google images, I came across some pastel water colored images I wanted to recreate. This A2 Tall Nutcracker Die, is my FAVORITE new product!!! I used pink, gold, white and black cardstock to dress up the nutcracker. I backed him on vellum cardstock. I dressed up his hat with a holly sprig from Santa's Hot Cocoa Mug Die and used the snowflake die for the background. I inked up the background with distress oxide inks in shades broken china and stormy sky. I added some splashes of water and than some paint splatters. I scattered some Vintage Bulbs Sequin Mix to the background. The sentiment is from the stamp set, Swanky Christmas Sentiments and the coordinating Die. Thanks for stopping by for a peek! Hope you have a great week! Michelle
