Cam's Vase

Is it Monday already? Good grief time flies. Since it's Monday, that means it's time for me to upload this weeks CCEE challenge. Carolyn King (Cammie on SCS) sent us all her new Whimsical Autumn set and our challenge this week was to use some of those images to make a Fall themed card. I chose to use the vase and the stemmed leaves (they're stamped with Brushed Corduroy on the green plaid)

I used Beate's sketch that she had on Friday. This is the first time I've used a sketch other than SCS's. It was fun. I think I'll try it again soon.

I stamped the vase with Tuxedo Black (Memento, and colored the vase and stems with copics. The leaves were colored with my souffle pens (coral and white) All the edges were ink distressed with Frayed Burlap and Walnut (Ranger Distress Ink) and I finished off the card with some tan twill and Candy Dots (I' Kan-dee).

Cam's Pumpkin

I made this card for two reasons. First, my friend Carolyn King (Cammie on SCS) designed a stamp set called Whimsical Autumn. It's darling, and 100% of Cam's proceeds are going toward Alzheimer's Research.

Cam is also going to honor Alzheimer Care takers on Sept. 21 (National Alzheimer's Day). Check out her blog HERE for more details. She'll be having over $600 in blog candy available. There are so many generous people out there, it just warms my heart to overflowing!!

I was inspired by todays SCS Inspirational Challenge, to use these colors and swirls and leaves. Click HERE, then on the word file below the explanation of the challenge. I'm technologically challenged, so I'm not sure how to link this any better. I'm so sorry.

I stamped the Pumpkin image, from the Whimsical Autumn set, with Tuxedo Black (Memento) and colored it with my copics. The leaves on the bg are Kaisercraft Elegance Rub ons. The brads in the corners are Crushed Velvet brads (Doodlebug) with Kaisercraft Bronze Rhinestones in the centers. All my framing was cut with my cuttlebug and Nestabilities.

Cam's Whimsical Autumn Stamps...

A dear friend of mine, Carolyn King (Cammie on SCS) has designed a fabulous Whimsical Autumn stamp set in which 100% of her proceeds will be donated to the Pennsylvania Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, Always, in honor of her grandmother who recently passed away from this debilitating disease. And to top it off, a friend of hers promised to donate a dollar for every set sold in September.

This set has a variety of darling images. The squirrel and apples are just a couple of them. Click Here to see the rest of this cute set.

I also made this card for the SCS Featured Stamper who was Denise (Card Crazy). The card I cased can be found Here. I loved how she added the strip of magic mesh. I hadn't used mine in quite awhile. I also liked how she lined up the brads under the image. So, I changed the colors, the images, the shape of the center panel, and I added a sentiment instead of weaving the ribbon. Thanks for the inspiration Denise!! I really enjoyed perusing your gallery!!

I colored the images with copics and ink distressed the edges with Brushed Corduroy (Ranger Distress Ink). The tag is a Spellbinders diecut, and the green dots are Candy Dots by I kan' dee.

Here's a close-up so you can see the dimension.
