Hello friends! It's been wonderful weather that I'm enjoying to the max. But all those fall color changes will be coming soon, so I thought I would get a jump on it ahead of time. On yesterday's card, I used a piece of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper that I had die-cut. Today, the card uses the rest of the piece of DSP that framed the piece that was cut for yesterday. Sometimes my extra pieces sit around for days (or weeks) before I get around to utilizing them. I made sure to get this one used right away.
I started this card with the piece of 4 3/4" x 3 1/4" Country Woods Designer Series Paper. The center was cut from this using the largest rectangle die in the Everyday Details die set. I love how the frame has all the open-work dots all around the opening. It just gives it a little more interest than a straight cut.
Next is the piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to layer the frame on. This measures 4 7/8" x 3 3/8" which gives it just a skinny frame of vanilla around the wood grain piece.
The tree from the Delicate Forest Bundle was used for the main image. I measured where the frame opening would be so I could place the tree. The stamp was inked with Pumpkin Pie ink then dabbed on with Cajun Craze ink to meld the colors together. There is another stamp in the set that is a bunch of scattered leaves. I added just a few coming from the tree and just two tiny leaves up higher near the tree.
The wood grain frame was attached to the Very Vanilla layer after the stamping. I used Tombow Liquid Glue for this so it could be carefully maneuvered into place.
The card base of Cajun Craze was cut to measure 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded in half. A layer of Early Espresso cardstock was cut at 5 1/4" x 4" to add next. This is attached with adhesive. The Very Vanilla layers are attached next using Dimensionals.
The sentiment is one of my current favorites and it's from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set. It is stamped on a 7/8" x 2 3/8" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. I used Cajun Craze ink for this. This is layered onto a piece of Cajun craze cardstock that measures 1" x 2 1/2". They are attached together with adhesive. Then this is attached to the card front with Dimensionals.
The embellishments for this card are simply 2 golden birds from the Adhesive-backed Dragonflies & Birds bling.
Hope you've had a chance to peruse the new mini catalog and all the new items in the Online Exclusive and Kit section. There's a wonderful selection right now. If there's anything you're wanting that is back ordered, be patient. The items will all get back in stock soon.
Thank you for sharing some of your precious time with me today. I've got several more cards lined up ready to be posted. Just need to find the time to do it all.
Happy stamping and creating,
Sharon
