Hello friends! I'm back with a card for the current challenges at The Paper Players and Just Us Girls. I'm also sharing my card at the Four Seasons Challenge, where their October challenge is Anything Goes - Fall.
I decided to give some love to an older stamp set from Impression Obsession called Fall Pumpkins - so perfect, no?
The pumpkin/floral scene was colored with Copic markers. I'd forgotten how small and detailed this stamp was, with all the tiny leaves, berries and flower petals, but it still didn't take too long to color. I used browns to ground the image and at first was just going to use a blue marker around the edges above the "ground" but then opted to color in the rest of the background. When done, the panel was trimmed down to 3.5" x 4.75".
Next, I tried to stamp the sentiment onto the panel, but wouldn't you know it, my paper moved ever so slightly in my Misti and it blurred! No worries, I just stamped it again on a piece of white scrap paper, die cut it along with another piece for a tiny bit of layering, then added it to the card front. The panel was layered on a dark brown panel, then added to the white card base with foam tape. I hope to get this card and a few others in the mail to some out of state friends.
I hope you're having a great week with some decent weather because soon enough, at least in the Northern Hemisphere, we'll be looking at things turning colder. I think we'll have our last hurrah of high 70's by the end of this week, then brrrr lol!
It you have a chance, check back on Thursday when I'll have a Halloween card to share.
Take care!
Stef
