Leaves and groovy chalk make a mess!

It is time for the Tutorial Time challenge on MFPSpeedyTV! Here is my card using the Fall velum leaves tutorial:

Please join us HERE and choose Challenge 46.
I used the only vellum I had. It was very old from Stamping Up. It was thick and shiny. I couldn't get the chalk to stick in the way the tutorial said to do it. I fixed the problem by rubbing Versa Mark on the leaves then chalking them. Then I heat embossed with clear. Note to self: be careful when heat embossing this type of vellum. It MELTS!

Oh what little birds can say!

These were done with scraps of a Halloween printed paper that I traded for.

The little brick wall was made by turning the castle stamp so that the bottom was on top.

The images were stamped in black and colored with markers. I masked the centers and sponged in the background colors.

Did you see that Column on Topiaries? How about just Columns and Topiaries?

I recently took a class on how to make ocean views. We were encouraged to use elements that were nautical. I made several cards that were views of the beach from the ocean. I got home and saw a time share commercial. That Miami time share looked mighty inviting! I will have a tutorial on how to make this card later in the week.

This card looks like a Take 10 magazine card to me. I used cardstock scraps for the strips.

I'm the Queen you may bow~!
