CTMH Huntington and Count Your Blessings #2

Good morning everyone! Hope y'alls weekends are 

off to a good start! It sure is getting toasty here in central OK

considering it's September... Oh well guess that's what happens

when you have a mild July/August...

Well I have another card for y'all this morning using 

Close To My Heart products. 

The card base is 4.5 x 6.25 cut from a sheet

of Colonial White cardstock. I then cut a smaller

rectangle from Barn Red cardstock as a mat for a rectangle piece

of Huntington B&T both come in the Huntington paper pack.

I stamped my image from Count Your Blessings in Versamark

then embossed it in a brown embossing powder. (from Hobby Lobby)

I then used CTMH inks in Goldrush, Olive, Barn Red and Gypsy as

well as MFT ink in Kraft to 'paint' my image using water brushes (HL)

I also distressed the edges of my image panel and sponged

on in in Barn Red. The Blessed is stamped in MFT Kraft.

I then cut a strip of Barn Red and B&T papers and colored

some White seam binding with my Olive ink and sponge, and 

cut a strip of Bronze shimmer trim to make the 

strip down the side of the image. The double bow I

made using a Bow-Easy.

Be on the lookout for a YouTube video I will we putting

up soon showing how I paint my images

using CTMH inks!

CTMH Huntington and Mojo Monday 309

Good morning everyone! It's Friday! Whoop whoop!

Hope y'all have fabulous plans for the weekend!

I plan to clean and make more cards! I was

hoping my CTMH order would be in but alas, the labor

day weekend through shipments off a day or two...

This morning I have for y'all a card using this week's

sketch over at Mojo Monday! I used paper from the

Huntington Paper Pack as well as some Goldrush and

Colonial White cardstock. I used stamps from Always Grateful

and Count Your Blessings stamp sets. I stamped those

images in Versamark then embossed them in Bark ep

from Michaels. I colored them using Barn Red, Goldrush,

and Olive inks. I also used white seam binding that I

sponged Olive ink on. Tied my double bow with

the Bow-easy.

Supplies list: CTMH products unless noted

Paper: Huntington pp, goldrush cs, colonial white cs

Stamps: Always Grateful and Count Your Blessings

CTMH Huntington paper and C1555 Count Your Blessings stampset

Good morning everyone! Hope y'alls week is going well!

It's already all most Friday! Whoop whoop! I should

be getting a new box of CTMH goodies tomorrow!

Until then I decided to pull out the Huntington paper pack

and make a few cards! For this first card I used the

card on page 44 of the new Idea Book as my inspiration.

I made a 4.5 x 6.25 card base out of Barn Red cardstock

that comes with the Huntington Paper Pack. I then cut a smaller

rectangle out of Goldrush cardstock. I inked the edges of both

the Red Barn and Goldrush with their matching inks.

I stamped the cornstalk and small pumpkin from 

Count Your Blessings in Versamark and embossed it in a 

brown embossing powder I got from Hobby Lobby. I cut

out the pumpkin and distressed and inked the edges of the cornstalk

image in Barn Red ink. I then used my Red Barn, Goldrush and Olive inks

 along with some water brushes (also from HL) to paint my stamped images.

 I will be doing a YouTube tutorial this weekend about painting

with ink pads so be watching for that!

For the stitched part, on a piece of white computer paper

I drew the image I wanted then using my needle I poked holes

along the image about ever 1/8th of an inch. I then used a 

small piece of tape to tape my template to my B&T piece

and then poked through the holes in my computer paper onto

my B&T paper. I used some embroidering floss I had that was close to

the Goldrush color and then just stitched the image!

I stamped the Blessed in Barn Red and also used

a strip of Bronze Shimmer Trim to finish off the outside of this card!

The inside stamp is from the set Always Grateful.

Inks used: Red Barn, Olive, Goldrush, Versamark
