Welcome to InKing Royalty's August Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes are inspired by popular songs - this month's song is "Dog Days Are Over." While we still feel the heat from a long, hot summer, August is a perfect time of year to start planning our Fall-themed cards. The projects in our hop will showcase Autumn, back-to-school and warm colors - you might even see a dog or two! We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I wanted my card to show the transition from summer to autumn. Stampin' Up has gorgeous colors for leaves! Fall colors are so warm and rich.
Thank goodness for the Stamparatus! With a little bit of practice I was able to evenly space the leaves. Aren't the colors perfection? The background paper I used as a backdrop is from the Nature's Poem DSP. Such a pretty paper collection!
Stamps: Stampin' Up! Rooted In Nature, Tropical Chic (sentiment)
Inks: Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red
Cardstock: Crushed Curry

ReplyDeleteBrian, you've made my day! Thank you!
DeleteThis card is just blue-ribbon work-- I absolutely love the clean look, and yes: the colors ARE perfect. Thank you for joining at SOS this week. I didn't get to know Leslie, but she was clearly dearly loved, and you honoring her is touching. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Mimi. Your thoughtful comments moved me. Leslie was engaging, oh so creative, and funny.
DeleteAwesome card, the leaves are gorgeous I love the transitioning colours. Thanks for playing along with Shopping Our Stash for the leaves challenge. thank you for honouring Leslie. I think of her often even though I only knew her for a short time she made a true impact on me.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barbara! I love the colors too, and that leaf is already one of my favorite images. Funny how we think of Leslie in so many different moments. She used to tell me it's so easy to ground an item, just scribble some color under it. She was a rare gem.
DeleteBeautifully conceived and executed! Thanks for sharing with us at Shopping Our Stash!

Thank you so much, Chana! I loved your wrap around cards!
DeleteWhat a stunning card! The leaf stamp is a must have and you've lined it up perfectly! Thanks for joining in our leaf challenge at Shopping Our Stash, and thank you also for honoring Leslie. She was a rare gem and is still greatly missed.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chris! I love my stamp positioners. Leslie comes to mind often, especially when I use pink!
DeleteLove this gorgeous CAS card, those leaves are stamped perfectly and the colors on each are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI came along to SHOPPING OUR STASH after the loss of Leslie, I'm sad I didn't get to meet her and work with her but I've learned through my teammates that she was a wonderful person, fabulous crafter and she didn't like the color PINK.
Thank you for playing with us over at SHOPPING OUR STASH, hope you play again soon.
Hugs.
Maria, thank you so much! I am thankful Leslie had a blog; it's great to go back and read her posts. I do always intend on participating in your fun SOS challenges. Must do that more often!
Deletesuch a beautiful card, a great take on our SOS challenge, and featuring SU products so cleverly plus plenty of white space... all of which leslie would have loved, thanks for joining us in her honor! ♥
