We host a color-themed challenge every month at the Gingersnap Creations blog, and October's is the perfect-for-autumn combination of pumpkin, avocado and eggplant. Think "the Brady Bunch" kitchen with some deep purple thrown in, and you've got the idea.
I'm just thrilled silly that Claudine Hellmuth's Creative Layers stamps are finally on the market! I used them for all the imagery on this card, and had a blast doing it. I adore her style, anyway, and the "offset print" look you can get by combining these foam and clear stamps is so totally, coolly retro. Check out the little into here if you want to see 'em in action:
I used Adirondack dye inks for the stamping, and embossed the layers of cardstock with Tim Holtz Texture Fades.
Why don't you cruise on over to the Gingersnap Creations blog and join our Pumpkin, Eggplant and Avocado challenge? We'd all love to see your take on this color palette, and you have all the way until November 21 to add your submission!
Have an awesome, pre-Halloween Thursday, everyone!
Hugs,
Linda

Such great loose designs these stamps, have never seen anything quite like this before. A terrific picture card and I am definitely in love with your beaded girl. Annette x
Wonderful creation Linda. I love those stamps and the bead lady is so cool. Happy Halloween to you!
This is so cute, Linda, and the little lady is priceless!
Love this adorable card. Your bead gal is just darling.
Hi Linda! You did a great job with this - and your beaded lady is so cute. :) I like Claudine's stamps - there are a lot of sweet little designs. :) Theresa
What a sweet piece of art Linda, and your little beaded lady is the icing on the cake!
I like Claudine's stamps as well!!! Love her retro look! That color combo frightened me but now I see how easily you put these together, maybe I can as well. I don't care who came up with the idea of that little lady but she is adorable and I'm totally stealing that idea as well!!!
Love it! and that chick with the strategically bent wire, what a hoot!
Super fun card, Linda!
Such a fab project - the textures in the background are great and the little stick figure is so fun !
stealing my ladies makes me feel kind of bad friends.....I don't mind, but remember to make it your own. Peace, ElleBrady Designs.
Hi Lisa,
I'm so, so sorry I used your earring design for the little doll on my card. It didn't even occur to me that it might be a problem, but I absolutely understand your concern, and have blocked out that section of the photo. Your design is so wonderful, and I just got overly enthused about trying to recreate it. Obviously, you're very inspiring! Please accept my sincere apologies.
