Metallic Cream Chalks with Outline Stickers and Fall Leaves Template

I recently bought some metallic cream chalks and have enjoyed using them.  The background of this card was made using a fall leaves template.  I colored the inside of the leaves with the metallic cream chalks, then sprayed it all with walnut ink. The focal was made using an outline sticker that I colored in with metallic cream chalks.  I wrote the sentiment with a metallic Sharpie pen.

Thanksgiving Metallic Chalk Background

I love the creamy metallic chalks for making pretty backgrounds.  I just applied bits of several different colors to the background, blending them together.

The greeting is stamped on and matted on papers cut/embossed with my Fleur de Lis rectangle dies from Spellbinders. I also used them as a stencil to add a bit of the metallic cream chalk to the border.

The turkey is cut from a pretty paper napkin (after the layers were separated and just the printed one remained). It was glued to a cream colored card which was then matted on the bronze paper and popped up on the card with foam tape.

Gingerbread Man Use It Up

Here's another "use it up" Christmas card - this one a gingerbreadman background.  I also had matching paper, so cut out one of the little gingerbreadmen and a green heart out of that.  These form the focal which is popped up on foam tape and then layered on several layers of die cutouts that form a sort of triple mat.  The greeting with double mat was cut on my Silhouette.

Thanks a Bunch

Here's a Thanksgiving card I made - shaped using the card shape from the Design Tool Kit #1 from Hot Off the Press.  The focal is created from one of the Autumn Scrapbooking Dazzles by the same company, matted by a tan piece cut with a Spellbinders die.  I used some water-color pencils to color in the fruits and vegetables, then used my aqua-painter (a water brush from Stamp-in Up to better add color and shade them.) The printed paper has subtle leaf shapes and is also from Hot Off the Press.
