Fall Harvest

This sunny Fall Harvest card was created with one of the (too) many stamp sets I've purchased lately.  Still working toward that goal of a project from each!

A Couple Details:

  • For something a little different with rubber or clear stamps (but something I do all the time with digis), I stamped the central image onto pattern paper for a little extra something.  I love how you get a glimpse of the leaf pattern through the marker.  The image was stamped in brown pigment ink and embossed using clear powder.  This ensured that my pigment ink didn't smear when I colored the image.
  • For some texture, I embossed Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Up! cardstock using Tim Holtz's Woodgrain texture fade.  I then distressed the top and bottom edges and highlighted the embossed pattern with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
  • A distressed "Fall Harvest" banner, some argyle ribbon, and chrysanthemum tag finish off this card that makes me think of the still-warm sun breaking through on a chilly autumn day.
