Autumn Birthday

Pin It Now!

The weather has cooled off a little & it has me wishing west Texas had trees that will soon be beautiful reds, oranges, & yellows. Unfortunately that isn't the case :( To satisfy my "need" to experience those autumn colors I have to create a project :) So here's my little taste of autumn:

You can't have autumn without trees so my obvious choice for the stamp set was "Lovely As a Tree". I stamped them on white card stock using Versa Mark & embossed with black. I used sponges & added color using So Saffron, More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, & at the very top I used Cajun Craze. I also used Soft Suede under the trees & around all four sides. Using daubers I lightly added color to the trees using Riding Hood Red, Cajun Craze, & Always Artichoke. I layered this onto a piece of Early Espresso card stock & popped it up on dimensionals before adhering it to the So Saffron card base. I used the set "Teeny Tiny Wishes" & stamped the sentiment onto a piece of white card stock using Always Artichoke ink & punched it out with the Word Window punch. I added the Always Artichoke Modern Label punch & popped this up on dimensionals. I used it for a birthday card but it would make a really nice sympathy or Thanksgiving card as well.

This satisfied my wanting to see gorgeous fall colors today :) I may have to make up some more autumn projects & display them in different areas in the house so I don't miss southwestern Wisconsin too bad (where I grew up). Hmm.....I think I can almost smell apples baking.... ;) Hope you all enjoy your day!
