Heidi was playing with her Distress Oxide Inks again today, using the smooshing technique and a piece of acetate to create the paper from which she created her leaf and acorns. Another fun idea! Heidi shares the how-to, which is linked below. Take a look:

I love the simply knotted silk ribbon with frayed edges – very autumnal looking!

This is a multi-step stamp using Altenew inks and die cut once done.

Those flowers just POP off the white background.

What a simple design, yet spectacular end product!

Holly created a super pretty no stamp card for us today, pulling everything, including her sentiment, from one paper pad. Gotta love that! And I just adore the lattice she created from strips of white paper. This reminds me of one of those beautiful boards for photos/notes, but so much prettier! Take a look:

These papers, prints and colors got me from hello!

Beautifully combined with flowers and lace.
