Happy Fall!

Well, summer is over and fall has officially begun. I’m not sure how I feel about this but I guess since there’s really nothing I can do about it…I’ll just roll with it and enjoy! In honor of the first day of fall (and because I’m having such a good time with this set), my card today is a pretty reminder of the beauty of the season.

Only one stamp set was used for all the images and sentiments on this card. Count My Blessing stamp set really has it all when it comes to beautiful florals and perfect sentiments in an amazing font. This is another set that can take you well beyond the fall season and be used for many different occasions.

Here’s the details

The card base is Very Vanilla thick card stock with a woodgrain mat from the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack.
The sentiment is stamped in Chocolate Chip ink on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock cut at 1 3/4″ x 5 3/8″.
This is matted with a piece of Crushed Curry and Chocolate Chip card stock.

To achieve a multi-dimensional look, I first stamped the image on Very Vanilla card stock and colored it with a variety of Stampin’ Write Markers and cut it out using a circle die from the Layering Circles framelits.
I stamped and colored it a few more times on Very Vanilla card stock. But this time I cut out a couple of acorns and a leaf and adhered them over the image that was stamped on the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A simple Linen Thread bow adds a little more rustic charm.
Lastly, the Very Vanilla circle is glued to a Chocolate Chip stitched circle using the Stitched Shapes framelits and then popped on the sentiment panel with dimensionals.

Can you tell that I really enjoyed coloring these images! I think they really give the inside of the card so much more detail and pair so well with that wonderful sentiment.
