Happy Fall, Y'all! - Artful Angel August Release IG Hop

Hi friends!  Today is release day for Artful Angel and we are celebrating with an Instagram Hop - more on that later, though! 

 I am telling you... with all of the heat we have been experiencing lately, I am dreaming of the day I can dig out my shawls, sweaters, and boots and hunker down with some hot cocoa!  I digress, though!  I created this fun card to celebrate fall using the Fall Fun stamp set. 

I colored up the red panda and leaf pile using Copic markers (colors listed below), cut them out and set them aside.  Using the C.C. Designs Circle Dies, I die-cut the scalloped circle from a digital paper and the stitched circle from white card stock.  I applied Walnut Stain Distress Ink to the edges of both circles.  I wrapped a panel of another digital paper with retired Stampin' Up ribbon and tied a bow, and then adhered the panel to my card base.  I adhered the circles to the card base, followed by my images. 

Colors Used: 

E09, E08, E07, E29

E43, E41, R20

Family = Fun!

 Hi friends!  Today, I get to share one of the projects that I made for the Artful Angel August Release.  I created this fun fall-themed card using the fabulous F is For stamp set. I chose to use the family sentiment because for me, fall represents family time.  I think I see my family more during the fall than I do the rest of the year. 

I colored up the cute red pandas using Copic markers (listed below) and I paired them with a non-traditional (but one that I love) color combo.  I used the C.C. Designs Stitched Rectangle Dies to die-cut my layers, and I inked the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  

I stamped the sentiment in Walnut Stain Distress Oxide, added a bow and popped the pandas up with foam tape.  

Copics Used: 

Reds - E09, E09, E07, E29

Tan - E43, E41, R20

I would love to hear what your favorite fall activity is!
