Backwoods, I'm not talkin where I come from

No you are not seeing double, well actually you kind of are . Can you guess what I just got for a new stamp set...that's right, SU's Backwoods. I just love these masculiney type of images. I had a couple of lonely tangerine tango sheets and figured I'd play. I don't think they are overly fab or anything but thought it was neat how you could get 3 different cards with semi the same colour scheme.

All supplies are SU unless noted.

The colours throughout all the cards are tangerine tango, so saffron, bashful blue, old olive, very vanilla, whisper white,Chocolate chip-but really, non SU paper, which I think is close to choc chip, and as usual I can't give you the name of it and last but not least watercolour paper.

Let's see what I used for accessories, choc chip grosgrain ribbon, non SU white button ribbon slide, and a corner rounder to make the scallops.

White grosgrain ribbon-not SU, staple, round tab punch

Looks like I only used the mat pack on that one. The layout of the very first one is from a sketch from SCS which can be found here.

Back to my roots

I had my first "splurge" gathering last night, I think things went rather well. 9 of us get together every month, spend 25.00 on SU, eat and craft. It was fun. I haven't made any masculine cards in awhile which is strange as I really enjoy and do alot of manly cards.

All supplies used are SU.

The base is close to cocoa, I matted not quite navy on it with 3 always artichoke brads. I used a mat of bashful blue which I faux stitched, the bear is matted on always artichoke, faux stitching as well. I stamped a sentiment from Lots of thoughts and punched it using the tab punch, threw in a little stapely poo to make it more manly. The bear image is from the stamp set Yukon and I used a blender pen and chalks.

Sun ripened

I have a stash of coloured/mounted images that just never seemed to make there way into anything so I decided to start using them.

I am going to start trying to be a little more specific with my recipe, I just don't always seem to recall what I have used.

All supplies used are SU, unless noted.

Sun ripened stamp set, not quite navy for base and mat. The green paper is from a level one print pack. i watercoloured the images with pumpkin pie, close to cocoa for branch, and old olive, garden green for leaves. To top it off I used some ww ribbon, and a piece from the hodge podge kit.
