Autumn On The Farm

Hi, Janja is here with you.
A little more, and autumn will come. This is the richest time of the year, enchanting us with beautiful autumn colors, juicy fruits and vegetables.
I tried to capture some of this on a card I share with you today.


CottageCutz dies - Lucky Leprechaun, Hats, Glasses & Mustaches, Old Farm Fence, Cornucopia, Ivy, Carrot Patch Bunny
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 5 x 5" (12,7 x 13,7 cm)
- colored cardstock
- corrugated kraft cardstock
- colored ink pads
- watercolor brush
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads
Cut out the central motif with Lucky Leprechaun die and add a mustache.


Now cut out the various autumn crops.


Cut ivy from watercolor paper. I colored ivy with Distress Inks, brush and water.


Prepare a card base and trim a patterned paper. From corrugated kraft cardstock cut a frame and a fence. The outer edge of the frame is the same size as the card base.



First, attach a pattern paper and frame to the front of the card. Then paste the central motif, a fence and ivy. Finally, fill the bottom of the card with all the vegetables and fruits.





Have a nice day.
Janja

Little Princess


Hi!

It's Anja here. I made another card using new Magical Fantasy Designs. I combined it with a few older dies and made a card for a little princess.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Little Princess & Roses, Princess Dress-Up, Springtime Window, Ivy, Dogwood Branch),
- Distress Inks (Pumice Stone, Vintage Photo, Mustard Seed, Spun Sugar, Peeled Paint, Worn Lipstick, Mowed Lawn, Tattered Rose, Shabby Shutters),
- white card base (21x10 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts and background,
- grey card stock for background,
- bricks embossing folder,
- white pigment ink,
- gold pigment ink,
- black pen,
- cutting knife,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the window.


Next I cut and colored the sentiment.


Then the flowers and the princess.


And last ivy leaves ...

... and two branches with flowers.


Next was the background. I cut and embossed two pieces of grey paper (10x3,5 cm). I used white pigment ink to color the bricks.


Next I cut and embossed white piece of paper (10x14 cm). I cut a square out of it using a cutting knife.


And when I had everything cut  and colored I arranged all the pieces and glued it on the card base. And my card was made.



This is all from me for today.

Have a nice Sunday.

Anja Z.
