I missed the last Twinchie challenge, so wanted to make sure I got in early this time. The theme is "Autumn" for Challenge #5. Check out the awesome creations by the Design Team here at Show us your Twinchies Challenge Blog. Remember these creations are only 2 x 2 inches. A small space, but for some reason I find creating them a little addicting. I enjoy creating cards using the Twinchie as a topper and I think they would make great little gift tags.
Update: Monday morning - I'm adding this card to Judith's 'Forgotten Friday' Post at Judith@Poppy Cottage since I've used uninked stamps that have been waiting since last winter for Fall creations to start :)
The background was created by using Rusty Hinge, Aged Mahogany, & Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks on an Acrylic Block, sprayed with water and then added to the white card stock.
The Stamps are the Maple Leaf A Stamp Set from Class Act Inc. I stamped a large leaf from the set with aged mahogany DI over the background. The small leaf was embossed with gold, cut out and popped up on the Twinchie.
Below is the card I created with the Twinchie as a topper:
The background for the card was also created using the Acrylic Block Technique with Spiced Marmalade & Rusty Hinge Distress Inks. I also over sprayed with Sunshine Glimmermist. I stamped two different leaves from the set with Aged Mahogany, Rusty Hinge and Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks.
The quote - All Seasons C3534 from Impression Obsession was stamped with Walnut Stain DI. The Twinchie was popped up and it's done ! I love this quote as Fall is my favourite season, especially after a long hot summer.
That's all for today. Thanks for your visits and kind comments, I appreciate them.
Have a great day !
Shirley

Wish I could leave a comment on all the cards I've missed seeing these past several months. So I'll leave one here to let you know that I feel inspired by visiting your blog home. Thanks. I feel at peace enjoying the lovely colors. Your heart must look just like that - a brilliantly peaceful place, just like your artwork. This card caught my eye for the final comment because of its elegant simplicity. Rich earth tones and lovely gold embossing. Thanks again for a marvelous peek at your artwork!
