Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #334 - Autumn

Fall is in the air and so we have the theme of Autumn at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.  I do love this time of year.  I've seen several deer over the last few weeks which is why I made this card. These majestic animals always make me smile.

Challenge #334-Autumn
Make a project using anything Autumn related. But there has to be a least one cut from the Cricut Library!

This Weeks Sponsor is-

And the prize is-

Three new Close to My Heart Stamp Sets!

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

If it isn't a card, you will get two entries into the drawing!

Getting back to my card, I created a Distress Ink background and then dusted the background with brown chalk before using a stitched rectangle die to cut out a panel.  I hand cut the grass mound and inked the edges.  I used my Close to My Heart Artbooking Cartridge to cut the deer and the leaves, distressing them with various inks to add depth and shadows.  I haven't added a sentiment yet, but I think it will be a birthday card for my brother-in-law.  It has a nice masculine feel, don't you think?

We hope to see your projects at FCCB.  And in the meantime, Happy Fall, Ya'll!!

613 Avenue Create - September - Anything Goes/Option Clean & Simple

Hello!  Our September challenge at 613 Avenue Create has the option of making a CAS (Clean & Simple) project.  You'll want to enter your projects and also check to see who won last month's challenge.  Here's my card - very clean and simple, with no stamping.

I used a sail boat die owned by a friend so I don't know the name of the die.  I actually layered two die cuts together to give it a bit of depth.  I created my sky and water using Distress Inks.  I smooshed the inks on my craft sheet, sprayed them with water and painted them onto some card stock. I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the background panel, adhered it to a white card base, and added the die cut.  I love how this turned out. (I made extra cuts of this sail boat scene so you will probably see more cards with this image in the near future.)


Card stock:  Recollections 110 lb
Die:  Unknown (borrowed from a friend)
Distress Inks:  Cracked Pistachio and Tumbled Glass
