Autumn Blessings
We're having some beautiful Fall days putting me in the mood to make Fall cards. I started by sponging the ivory card front with Distress Ink spiced marmalade.
Then I lightly stamped an image from SSS Sketch Ranunculus in DI dried marigold & splashed it with water. To soften the splashes I then sponged with DI scattered straw. SSS Autumn Blessings was die cut from kraft & green cardstock. I inlaid the green words into the kraft panel, inserting the little kraft pieces. The MFT pumpkin was die cut from cardstock & felt to give it more body. I colored the wooden embellishments, tiny pearl & twine to match. The layout was provided by SSS Flickr Challenge #55 & I'm also entering Double D & Stamplorations Theme & Sketch (blending). Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.

Beautiful Autumn days here as well Greta, a bit chilly though. Lovely colours on today's card and I bet the pumpkink feels so textural but from felt.

What a gorgeous background, Greta! Perfect backdrop for the cute felt pumpkin! Can't believe you inlaid the words - it must have taken you forever to fit in those tiny pieces!

So pretty!! I love the BG!! The colors are changing here and I'm getting in the mood too! Were supposed to get 6 inches of rain over the weekend, someone told me...If that's true, it will be crafts for me :-)
ReplyDeleteI like that background and your overall card. Thanks for reminding me about felt. I have some and it's in fall colors so I tucked it away. NOW is the time to drag it out.

ReplyDeletePretty fall card Greta. I love those inlaid words and felt pumpkin. Where is my felt. I haven't seen it since I moved everything. Now I'm on the hunt! Thanks for reminding me I have some. You always use such a diverse group of products on your cards and I love that.
ReplyDeleteWonderful look with the water ghosting of this pretty image, and that sounds like a good technique to try as you've described. It made a beautiful background for the rich colors of the border sentiment and the great texture of the felt apple! Gorgeous fall card. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this! What a great idea for making a beautiful background. Cute idea to do the pumpkin in felt. Love the wooden embellishments and the beautiful script of the die cut sentiment, too. Good to see this in our Pumpkin Time Challenge at Double D, Greta!
