STAMPlorations Giving Thanks Blog Hop

Hi! I'm so pleased you dropped by today as I'm taking part, with my AAA Cards hat on, in the STAMPlorations 3rd Giving Thanks Blog Hop.  How exciting is that?

https://stamplorations.blogspot.com/2017/11/giving-thanks-blog-hop-wishlist-linky-party.html

Well this was a no brainer when I got the invitation from Shery and just look at the wonderful stamps she sent through for me to use. So a huge thanks goes from me to Shery and STAMPlorations!

  

Here's what I created using them:


Although this is not my usual style I just couldn't resist making a pop up box with the scarecrow, leaves and pumpkins. So much fun colouring and putting this together!


Supplies:
Stamps: STAMPlorations, Wonderfall Time, Typografia Thankful
Ink: Mememnto, rich cocoa
Pens: Copic, R20, R22, R24, R29, E000, Y13, Y18, E55, E59, YG13, YG17

After all that fussy cutting and layering I went straight back to my preferred and AAA Cards required CAS style. This card has loads of empty 'white' space!


I love the colours that I blended together on the masked off strip - pinch me I'm saying I love orange! And I so enjoyed colouring the pair of pumpkins and tried hard to achieve an orange glow even though I don't have any orange pens - pen blending was needed!

 
Supplies:
Stamps: STAMPlorations, Wonderfall Time
Inks: Memento, rich cocoa; Ranger distress, spiced marmalade, mustard seed
Pens: Copic, Y13, R22, R24, E55, E57

My final card is a sort of half way house between the first two creations - a little more in the way of layers, but still enough empty 'white' space to call it CAS.


I started by using a homemade stencil to ink up that circular frame for the scarecrow - had to use him again as he's so cute. Then I added a couple of wonky strips of coloured cardstock to ground him. The pumpkins were then added to the front layer using pads for added dimension.

 
Supplies:
Stamps: STAMPlorations, Wonderfall Time
Inks: Mememnto, rich cocoa; SU, pumpkin pie, soft sky
Pens: Copic, R20, R22, R24, R29, Y13, Y18, G99, E57, YG13, YG17

Well that's my shares completed for today. Both the stamp sets I used are available in the STAMPlorations store - HERE - as well as all the other special release sets for this blog hop that you'll have seen as you've been hopping around.
