Hi my crafty friends! Happy Saturday! I'm back today with another fun blog hop! Today we're hopping to launch the brand new September product release from Reverse Confetti! Gorgeous new stamps and dies release today! The September release has a little bit of Fall, a little bit of Halloween and a little bit of Christmas! Truly something for everyone! CLICK HERE to SHOP the entire new release! Full blog hop list and shopping links are at the bottom of my post. Enjoy the hop! You should have arrived here from Laurie Schmidlin's fantastic blog!
I made two cards to share and both were done with my favorite new Polychromos Colored Pencils. I am really loving the different effects I can get with these lovely supplies. One card is soft and subtle, colored on kraft, and the other is bright and bold! I used the brand new Fall Foliage Stamps and Dies and the brand new Cotton & Thistle Stamps and Dies! Yeah!
You know how much I love Fall, and leaves! When I saw this new stamp set I was thrilled! The leaves are so beautiful, and the dies make a perfect, crisp cut. Perfect for any and all Fall craft projects. I had a lot of fun coloring all these leaves! I started with an A2 horizontal card base with paper from my stash. I layered watercolor paper die cut into a rectangle… and then LEAVES! Bright, bold, pretty leaves. I stamped and die cut a bunch of leaves and then colored them with my pencils. I love to put on some relaxing music and color…ahhhhh.
The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder onto a midnight black cardstock strip. I put the sentiment across the paper first and then arranged the leaves by tucking them into the black strip. Everything is attached with foam tape. The leaves were splattered with Copic Opaque White and then I added some Diamond Stickles. More is MORE! LOL.
The Polychromos pencils are very soft and waxy and blend easily. I did not use gamsol or anything to blend the colors – just kept going over it with more and more color.
This next card was made with the sweet and pretty Cotton & Thistle Stamps and Dies. Such a pretty set. I am in LOVE with the sentiments and that pretty font. So feminine and beautiful. This is a very clean and simple design. I started with a kraft A2 card base and then layered more kraft and then white paper. I inked the white paper background with Broken China Distress Ink to ground the image.
I stamped the image onto kraft cardstock and cut it out with the matching die. I used a soft wash of colored pencils to color the cotton and thistles. I used twine to wrap around the stems like a fresh bouquet and then attached the little tag from the Floral Wrap die set.
Thank you SO much for joining me today on my stop on this awesome blog hop! YEAH for the new Reverse Confetti September Release! LOVE IT! The entire new release is available for shopping now! Woot! What are you most excited about? Enjoy the hop! Next up is the talented and fabulous Heather Hoffman! Full Hop list below!

Wow, Wanda, both cards are just stunning! The fall leaves look so beautiful and the colored pencils sound like they are just dreamy to work with. I just have prismas but I know I can’t layer too much since they have that bloom effect. Do the Polys have the bloom effect?
Coloring on the kraft is just gorgeous! I love how you grounded the image with the blue ink. The detail you added to the bouquet with the twine and tag is just perfection!
Wanda, love them both! Your fall inspired card is gorgeous…those colors! Love what you’ve done with the Cotton & Thistles set, so pretty!
Each card is so beautiful, Wanda! Love the different looks you got with your pencils. I especially love the coloring on Kraft! Thanks for hopping with RC today!
Both of these are just beautiful! You make me want to buy these penciles! Always beautifully done! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Both of these cards are fantastic, but I especially LOVE those bright bold leaves!!! Sooooo gorgeous!
Stunning cards! I LOVE those gorgeous bold leaves – your coloring is awesome!
The fall leaves are simply stunning—love those vivid colors. The simplicity of the second card, and its perfect sentiment, is also lovely.
Gorgeous cards! I love Fall! Pretty coloring as always!

Beautiful cards! Love the gorgeous fall colors on your leaves! And such a sweet bouquet on your 2nd card! Awesome details!
So very beautiful!!!
These leaves are so yummy.. Fall is our favorite! This set is a must have. I love everything leaves. Cotton & Thistles is really nice too. My husband took me to the Silos when we passed thru Waco last October. I purchased a stalk of cotton with the bolls open. I have them in a small vase on my cabinet. Great memories. You nailed this one my friend, love it!
