Autumn Objet (object) - distressed frame etc.

Hi, friends!
 It's already Friday here! And I'm away from my home office, and somehow I'm blogging. Ha ha. I'm now taking a coffee break. :)
 Finished an autumnal distressed objet (object) and an autumnal ATC for masculine four days ago to join in the Hero Arts September challenge Round 2.
 These items were by my hubby's request. - I may remove this line. He doesn't much like that I write about the private. :(

Here is the pic of those.

 I made those by both vertical and horizontal use of left-over paper strips to add on the autumn leaves or some images for those.


This is a photo which I took the frame only.

 For this background (mat), three Acrylic Dabbers were used by a paint brush on a chipboad. The stamp on the mat is Tim Holtz's. Other stamps are all Hero Arts.


 And here is a partial closeup around the maple leaf.

 This time, I used the Glossy Accents to cover a leaf, already colored with perfect pearls red to use like watercolor for a half of the leaf. Its finished look was like a kind of cool sticker. I thought about it for a while to use it flat or 3-dimensional. And finally decided to take the dimensional use. So, I put the distress stickes for the edge of the leaf and decorated with several Idea-ology metals for its finishing.

And here is the ATC. I used the stamped image of Misty Garden and a leaf covered with both Glossy and Crackle Accents which were made the other day - I posted it on Sep. 28, 2010.

a card for thanksgiving

Hi, everyone!
 It's already Tuesday, here! Today, I posted a card which was finished about a week ago, because I was very busy last week, and couldn't do it.
 It looks like autumn season has begun around our region finally. But it was over 30C when I made the card. It's cool down at the moment - 22C at 2:05AM - . It's really comfortable! :) :) :)
I've been hearing about severe weathers or disaster hits here and there over the world by some TV news. Please take good care of yourself and your family members!

 Well, here is my thanksgiving card for the Hero Arts September challenge Round 2.

 Made this background to use three stamps, those were Misty Garden, Maple leaf from Season of Giving clear set and Circle Doily by Hero Arts. And then, decorated with layers of several papers, ribbons, clear circle and the stamped leaves.
* My Pin Oak leaf stamp is from © 2007 'More Real Leaves' set.
You can find it in the brand new poly clear set CL457 Real Leaves -probably, it looks like that the size is different from mine -, or the similar design in the digikit Foliage.

And this is a partial closeup photo.

 Wanted to take the crackle effects into the leaves, because I saw several beautiful works by other Flickr group members. So I used both crackle and glossy accents by Ranger for my leaves, already stamped with Distress Inks and put Perfect Pearls on each. The reason I used both glossy glues was the difference of the time for dry. I added Glossy Accents for the veins of a leaf soon after covered all with Crackle Accents. The powders of the Perfect Pearls float in the area which almost covered with Crackle Accents.
 But my autumnal card is almost the same as my last year's. I'm really ashamed of it.

Stamp used:
Hero Arts: Design Blocks Misty Garden / S5097, More Real Leaves / LL685,
                Poly Clear Season of Giving / CL361, Cling Circle Doily / CG168
Other supplies:
Bazzill and American Craft CS, Basic Grey PP
Tsukineko Versa Fine / Onyx Black, Toffee, Versa Magic / Sahara Sand
Ranger Distress Ink / Wild Honey, Tattered Rose, Fired Brick, Rusty Hinge, Walnut Satin
            Perfect Pearls / Red, Kiwi, Green, Bronze, Glue / Crackle and Glossy Accents
            Distress Stickles Tarnished Brass
Hero Arts Clear Circle, ribbons, button, paper code, Fiskars Punch

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a beautiful week!
