DRS challenge #6

Hello all! I have been absent for a few days days as I was visiting my BFF last week. We had a great trip and the weather was absolutely fabulous- we were so blessed! I even had the opportunity to spend the evening one night with Korin Sutherland- the owner of Sweet N Sassy Stamps. It was awesome being able to meet her and she is the sweetest woman truly and we hit it off very well. Some of the ladies in her church thought we had known each for a long time when in fact it was our first time meeting. It is so cool when that happens! Anyway, my projects today fit right in with my autumn weekend. I have 3 to show you today.

The challenge posted yesterday on the DRS designs website is to use a sentiment as your focal point.






These 2 cards are very similar. I just changed the card base color, ribbon and sentiment. I stamped my white layer with the 2 leaf stamps in versamark ink covering the whole sheet. I then did a little "magic" using the poppin pastels technique. With this technique all you do is stamp with the versamark ink and then add color to the clear ink with chalks and a sponge dauber. It is really simple and fun to do with great results. I then stamped my sentiment on vellum with brilliance ink and attached over the leaf stamped paper with brads so you could still see the paper under the vellum.

Supplies:
stamps- DRS designs G1122, C691, D701
ink- brilliance pearlescent chocolate
accessories- SU stampin pastels, brads, organdy ribbon



The last project is a candle. I stamped the images on tissue paper and adhered to the candle with my heat gun and waxed paper.
