Hello, crafting friends!
While I was in the middle of making yesterday's card, Eva wandered by with her enthusiastic tail and sent a stamp set flying onto the floor. As I bent to pick it up, I thought the colours I was using would be perfect for one of the images in the set... Thank you my floofy assistant!
The stamp set turned out to be one of my favourites - In the Meadow by Funky Fossil, but I'd not thought to use any of the images in an autumnal way! I used my stamping platform to stamp the leaf image in three Stampin' Up inks: Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Mossy Meadow, tucking a sentiment from WPlus9's Strictly Sentiments 2 between two of them.
It really is the simplest card - one layer and just stamps and inks - no fancy techniques - but I think it's quite effective. I added a sprinkling of gems, which I coloured cinnamon with an alcohol marker, and called it a day :)
CHALLENGES
The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps have very similar autumnal colour swatches this week, so I'm linking up with both challenges.
AND IN OTHER NEWS
In return for giving me stamping ideas, I found Eva a clean field with softy grass so that she could do this:
Full of joie de vivre and living for the moment - what a lot dogs can teach us!
Good choice for another beautiful Fall card, Eva! Great job of using it, Vicky!
