Freshly Made Sketches #412

I have been really in a stamping slump lately and so when I find that happens I like to check out all the challenges that I know about. What do you do? So for this sketch I think I really stretched the original sketch. This is such a great sketch and the possibilities are endless with it!

I like to color when I am not feeling very creative and so the country home stamp set is a great set to color. I used my stampin blends for the coloring of this project and used my chalk marker to make a few high lights. I used the sentiment from the painted harvest stamp set and embossed it in gold on black card stock.

I would love to know what stamp challenges you like to visit! Thank you for stopping by today and have a wonderful and blessed day!

Another take on emboss resist!

Aren't these leaves beautiful stamped and embossed in silver and gold? I have been on a kick to make beautiful, quick cards! Don't get me wrong I do love to spend time creating elaborate cards yet lately my stamping mojo has been nonexistent. So when that happens I like to go back to the basics. If I try to hard to make a card with several layers I just feel like it just is not coming together. I stamped  and embossed each leaf separately so that the embossing powders did not mix. 

Once again, since I still had the fall colors out I used them. This greeting is one of my favorites! It is from the country home stamp set. It is such a great reminder to just be thankful. Thankful for all the stamps that I have to create with, thankful for all the coloring mediums that I have and the hands and fingers to create with. Also, thankful for eyes that I can see all the beautiful colors that God has created in nature to enjoy. All things that God creates are good and 

I am so thankful! I am also so thankful for you coming to visit my blog and for all the amazing friends that I have met in this crafting industry! Enjoy! Have a great week!
