It's almost fall and I can definitely feel the difference in temperature {my favorite part} and the days are getting shorter {my least favorite part}. Which leads me to this month's challenge at Stinkin' Inkers. We are celebrating fall. Our theme is "Falling Leaves" and I hope you can grab a few stamps, dies, alcohol inks, whatever, and join in the fun!
What I Used to Make my Card:
Vanilla Card Base
Brown, White, Yellow, Orange, Red and Green Cardstock
Lawn Fawn Leafy Tree Backdrop - Landscape #LF1237
Lawn Fawn Jump for Joy Stamp Set, #LF1212
Ranger Archival Ink in Jet Black
I have to be honest - I completely forgot about my Design Team duties for this challenge. Completely. I've been trying to complete some of my DT duties ahead of schedule and I think I thought I'd already made a project for this challenge. Nope. The good news is this card was SO easy to make I threw it together in record time!
I first cut the Backdrop out of white card, then cut the tree out of brown
card. I attached the tree to the die cut, then attached the panel to a vanilla card just so there would be a slight color difference between the panel and the actual card.
Cutting out the leaves was super easy. The Backdrop set has a row of leaves that cuts out 6 at a time. In no time I had a pile of leaves ready to be attached to my tree. I glued the leaves around the tree, purposely leaving a bit of the branches sticking out.
The falling leaves are meant to look like they are swirling off the tree; I suppose I could have used a stamp to drive that point home - some sort of movement stamp - but I didn't think of it until I was writing this post.
Lastly, I stamped the sentiment onto the card with the help of my stamp platform. I absolutely adore this thing and I'm so happy I made the switch from my old stamping tool.
I hope you've had a relaxing long weekend. I've been making Halloween cards and decor like crazy; that shouldn't come as a shock because you know Halloween is my favorite holiday and it is never too early to get your Halloween on! I hope you get your fall stamps and colors out and join us at Stinkin' Inkers; you have NO excuse, the challenge runs the entire month. Thanks for stopping by! Christi
