Title: INK17 - What a Releaf!
Post by: howdyheidi on October 12, 2017, 05:25:00 PM
Hello everyone!   Because this is sortof a fall festival, I thought I would make my challenge to use a leaf stamp on your project, but I want you to use it repeatedly.  In any sort of creative way you would like. 

I did make one example.

Rules:
Create a new project for this challenge.  Gallery code will be INK17-LEAF.
You may combine with only one other INK17 challenge.
There will be a RAK which is a new Distress Oxide inkpad in Fired Brick and maybe a few other things. If you already have it, let me know!

O-o-o I thought from your title that I would be adding gold leaf to something-lol!  But oh I will be happy to pull out my leaf stamps.  I have some beautiful leaves in a leaf press sitting on my desk...perhaps it is time to open it up for some more inspiration.  Thanks for a fun challenge Heidi!

I couldn't resist doing another piece for your challenge, Heidi.
I used no masking (very hard for me  :o) but I like how it worked out.
Course I had to fc the birds & wreath.  ::)
BTW Heidi... What's different about the oxide inks?

Daniel, another great entry!  Thanks for playing!

The Distress Oxide inks are pigment/dye hybrid and when you add water to the mix, they get a white oxidized look.  They are really nice for sponging, backgrounds and stamping.

Thanks for the oxide info Heidi.
Glad you like the card.

Oh man can you believe I lost another stamp set of leaves, I really have to get better organized, I just hope they weren't thrown away by accident... I did manage to find some other ones though and went with a totally different idea :)

Another birthday card done for this month, so glad I have been able to use the challenges for Birthday cards I need and for a few more Christmas ones done :)

I love all the entries in this challenge.  They all have their own personalities!  And there are so many great leaf stamps out there.  Connie, I hope you find your missing ones!  Thanks for taking my challenge!

Found them!!!! was telling hubby about it this morning when I showed him my card and it popped in my head where it may be and sure enough I put it in a folder of other dies because the set was a stamp and die set :)  Now if I could just find my penny black stamp that would be great!

I decided to go for a bit of my latest entry. Although it doesn't show in the pic, I stylus-embossed the elements. I applied colors (ink, pencils & crayons) in layers & burnished to blend.
It's in the gallery, but I'll attach it here too.

Some of these challenges have really been a challenge for you, Daniel, with limited supplies but you have pulled them off beautifully!

Since I already had the leaf stamp handy, I used it on another card. Bear wanted to join our fest (luau)?

I'm sorry I didn't complete your challenge Heidi.  Just ran out of time  :( . I hope to do it anyway, some time this week.  I need Daria to host a hangover week!

Finally, I am posting my first and last 2 cards for Inktoberfest :-\  Life just got way too busy this week...mostly in a good way but not for making cards.  Thank you Heidi for hosting and I certainly did have a good time with your challenge.  Do know I do not have any oxide inks yet...so the color would be fun for Christmas cards.

Title: Re: INK17 - What a Releaf! - RAK Winner Announced!
Post by: howdyheidi on October 23, 2017, 09:03:11 AM
Thanks to everyone who played along!  I hope those of you who did not finish in time will still link up their projects in this thread so everyone can see them. I know I missed a couple challenges this fest, too, and I hope to finish them up this week. 

ANYHOW, I counted up the entries, numbered them and used a Random Number generator to pick the RAK winner.  It picked Daniel!  (He had a 50% chance anyhow since he was able to do so many entries!)

Daniel, I will try to get your RAK out tomorrow.  Hope everyone had a great Inktoberfest! Here’s to many more fests!

Thanks Heidi. Your challenge was one of favorite ones, hence my several entries.
All of the others did pieces that were just wonderful. WTG all.

I stamped a ton of leaves tonight!  I made 6 copies of this card (https://pin.it/btu9C5A) I had pinned on Pinterest.  I love the colors and layout of the pinned card.  Mine is close, but I think my leaves are bigger.  I also love the dark chocolate brown on the pinned card.  Anyone have a brown ink that you love?  I used Colorbox Chestnut Roan, but it is not quite as dark and rich.

Here is my version
Happy Thanksgiving (http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pid=3659#top_display_media)

Thanks for the challenge Heidi!  I really needed to do some fall stamping.  Fall is short-lived.  Glad I didn't miss the opportunity to stamp fall leaves.

Very beautiful card.  Great way to actually use an idea that you pinned! 

I have Gina K Dark Chocolate that might be the color you are looking for. I also have Chestnut Roan and it is much darker than that (although I really like Chestnut Roan for stamping woodgrain onto craft.)

Thanks for playing and linking!

I got Heidi's rak today. TY pal. The oxide ink looks great.
Heidi also included some stamps that were in her 'not-used-in-a-while' stash. I'll definitely be using them.

Glad it came safely!  I was fairly sure you would like the Christmas set, Daniel!  Glad to hear you will use them!
