This months kit was so inspiring for the season. I was very inspired by Amy from Prairie Paper and Ink when she used the nuvo shimmer powders on a recent holiday card. They are stunning! (<a href=\"https:\/\/prairiepaperandink.typepad.com\/amyr\/2020\/10\/slimline-shimmer-powder-thank-you-cards-sss-center-cut-snowflakes-background.html\">Click here for her blog post!<\/a>). After not having the best luck with them, I followed her video as well as her advice on just letting them be to dry. So I pulled out my Tim Holtz watercolor paper and went to town creating two sheets of shimmers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started by selecting three colors of Nuvo shimmer powders . Once I had all three colors chosen,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonsaysstamp.com\/product\/T%C3%A7onic-SOLAR-FLARE-Nuvo-Shimmer-Powder-1210n-1210n?currency=USD\">Solar Flare<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonsaysstamp.com\/product\/Tonic-CATHERINE-WHEEL-Nuvo-Shimmer-Powder-1215n-1215n\">Catherine Wheel<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonsaysstamp.com\/product\/Tonic-FALLING-LEAVES-Nuvo-Shimmer-Powder-1217n-1217n\">Falling Leaves<\/a>, I grabbed two sheets of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonsaysstamp.com\/product\/Tim-Holtz-425-X-55-DISTRESS-WATERCOLOR-CARDSTOCK-Ranger-Ink-TDA39549-58768?currency=USD\">Tim Holtz water color<\/a> paper. I wanted to test which way the colors reacted better. One sheet where I place the shimmers down first then add water, and the second way where I add water and then spritz. I softly tapped the bottom of each bottle with my nail to help expel the littlest amount of product (because a little goes a long way!). Each method had similar results and I couldn&#8217;t tell the difference between the two. However, I enjoyed adding the powders first, then spritzing with water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After I left them to dry, I returned and used the trees from the stamp set and arranged them so that the leaves of the trees had the best color. I then cut them out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I grabbed matching colors in distress oxide ink and splattered the kraft Gina K cardstock along the bottom to represent leaves that had already fallen. I used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonsaysstamp.com\/product\/Tim-Holtz-Distress-Oxide-Ink-Pad-CANDIED-APPLE-Ranger-TDO55860-TDO55860?currency=USD\">Candied apple<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonsaysstamp.com\/product\/Tim-Holtz-Distress-Oxide-Ink-Pad-MOWED-LAWN-Ranger-tdo56072-tdo56072?currency=USD\">Mowed Lawn<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonsaysstamp.com\/product\/Tim-Holtz-Distress-Oxide-Ink-Pad-FOSSILIZED-AMBER-Ranger-TDO55983-TDO55983?currency=USD\">Fossilized Amber<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I glued them all and added some jewels and tada! Fall on a card. There are still some Simon Says Stamp October Card kits. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonsaysstamp.com\/product\/Simon-Says-Stamp-Card-Kit-of-the-Month-October-2020-HAPPY-FALL-YALL-ck1020-ck1020?currency=USD\">You can find them here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2070-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-145\" width=\"892\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2070-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2070-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2070-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2070-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2070-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2070-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 892px) 100vw, 892px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just love fall!
