I love fall most of all!

Fall is right around the corner, and with it comes all the beautiful leaves.  I live in the woods and the colors that are around my home can be really great.  I tried to capture the changing colors on this leaf stamp from NEAT AND TANGLED.  I purchased this from Simon Says Stamp HERE  But it is currently out of stock.  You can get notified when it's back in stock.  SSS is good about that.   

For this card I used a piece of white cardstock for the base, I inked the edges with distress ink to match the orange on the sentiment and in the leaf.   I then gold embossed the leaves in gold from brutus monroe.   I did the colored leaf in black embossing. (when water coloring the embossed lines help keep the colors where you want them).   I did this on canson water color paper.   I then took three colors of distress ink and smooshed them on my glass mat ( I absolutely love my glass matt, thanks SUE love you)  then I added it in three sections, and added a little green to random spots like a leaf would have.   Easy peasy.  For the sentiment I inked it and sprayed with water to get the color moving.    This is a great technique for this type of card.

Little Turtle!

This card was inspired by one of the Unity design team members.  (Bobbi Sue McConathy from two38creations)When I saw her card I knew I needed to do one like it so I ran an ordered this die from Simon  says stamp, it's' not expensive.    The stamp was a FREE stamp from Unity.  You can buy it here.   It is on sale from 5.99  you can't beat that 6 bucks... you need this little bugger!  So for the card I used distress oxide for the back ground.  added the cute little die cut. and done.  super fast super simple super fun!  The sentiment on the front is from Taylored Expression.   It's a really cool concept.  It's one large stamp with a die that cuts multiple sentiments at once.  You can find it here!

with sympathy

Sympathy cards for most card makers are difficult.  Especially if you knew the person.  I find them so hard.  Unfortunately  I have had to make several recently.    I used a sentiment kit from unity.  I really like this one makes it really easy to create with since the image is so large and fills a lot of the space.  I watercolored with zigs

.   I used gold paint to swipe some on the background.  The embossing powder is brutus monroe.

Stranger Things!

I am a huge stranger things fan.  I love all three seasons.   This last one was fantastic.  If you have not checked it out. I suggest you give it a try.  Espessialy if you grew up in the 80's.

  This card was for my niece.  It was a ton of fun to create.  I used distress oxides for the background.  I took a stamped image of barb and wrapped her in a netted ribbon from stampin up.   I then spritzed with white pigment spray.   The sentiment is from Tim new halloween release.  It was perfect for this card.

This card was a lot of fun, a very good friend of mines dad has cancer.  I wanted to encourage him and his wife.   I didn't want anything to girlie, guy cards are hard.  I think this one turned out great.  I'm not real good with shadows, but tried really hard to create some in this one.  What do you think?

I share a lot more on instagram.   Im going to try to keep up with the blog so, look for me here and on instagram.  ladybryson!

Hi guys,
 
It's been over a year since I blogged.   I don't have many followers so I just kinda gave up.   I have been asked to be on part of a blog hop team.  Friend of Unity!   I am gonna give it a try.   It starts in september, I'll have an itty bitty to give a way so be sure to check back.

  This card was a lot of fun to make.  I love the vintage vibe of the image.  Unity really did a great job with this one.   You can buy her here!
