This first card was made with the pretty fall scene from the Autumn Tree stamp set.
Creative Nugget: I put my Copics aside for this one and tried the old, but neglected technique of coloring directly on the stamp with water based markers to color the scene from the Autumn Tree stamp set. A cloud template was used to lightly sponge clouds behind the tree. Fall colors were added to a piece of mixed media paper using the No Wrinkle Distress technique, and the Leaves Background was stamped over this with Potting Soil Archival ink. The little heart was cut with one of the Ornate Hearts Dies from a little scrap left over from a previous project…yes, I tend to keep a lot of scraps as you never know when something will come in handy! LOL! The Pennant Die cut the burlap framing the sentiment like butter. A border of burlap was also added behind the main panel. The sentiment from the Autumn Tree set was stamped on a Pennant die cut and a little bow made with a fiber from the burlap was added to finish the card.
The second card was made with the new God's Timing stamp set.
Creative Nugget: The background panels and the Vintage Label tag were made using the clock image from the God's Timing stamp set, a variety of stencils, distress inks, and even a little modeling paste. The clock was cut with the Matting Circles Die, given several coats of utee, and then was cracked in several places to give it an aged look. Stitching, a Beautiful Border, and some seam binding tie the elements on the card together.

Yummy Cathy! Love the classic feel to the watch fob and the amazing clean feel to the Autumn Tree set! The colors are amazing! Beautiful treats for the eyes!
Cathy, love how you colored the tree! Very cool! The clock card is so awesome...love all the texture!
Amazingly beautiful!! Love the backgrounds on both :)
such pretty softness to your fall scene, cool stenciling on the second!
I am so amazed that these cards just keep getting better and better! The tree card is so perfect for Thanksgiving and the saying on the second one is probably one of my most favorite Bible sayings! Merry Christmas!
Stunning projects Cathy! Love the marker to rubber on the top card, great way to showcase the stamp! Fabulous vintage card using God's Timing!
Cathy, I love both cards. Coloring directly on the tree image gave it a lighter look that is so perfectly complimented with the darker border. Great use of stencils, embossing paste, and stitching for an amazing background for the watch and sentiment.
Both cards have the wow factor Cathy! The old technique looks new again and the backgrounds on your second card are divine for the watch image! So many awesome details to absorb on both cards! Excellent artwork!
I love the stamped background and the use of burlap! Very effective!
Both are beautiful, Cathy! Love the coloring on the stamp for your tree and the bg looks wonderful. Your clock card is gorgeous w/ the tag and stitching.
