Today's first card would actually be perfect for any time of year, but that giant sunflower definitely makes it perfect for fall card making. This sweet girl is just darling for birthdays, encouragement cards, and more. I colored her with alcohol markers, and nestled her in a bed of clouds. I actually used a cream cardstock, which I don't do very often, but I liked the warmth and cozy glow it added to this card.
Next up, a more traditional fall scene, which was so much fun to color, using my favorite colored pencils. If you know me and my cards, you know I have to add some aqua into fall cards - I love the contrast of it against the warm and cozy yellows, pinks, and oranges. The embossed background, with just a little tone-on-tone inking added a not-too-busy background for this gorgeous splash of flowers and pumpkins.
A few layers of cardstock, corrugated stock, and twine, along with a sentiment finished off this card. It would make a great fall thank you card, or a Thanksgiving card. If you aren't a fan of detailed coloring, a quick splash of watercolor paints would be fabulous with this stamp too. It doesn't have to be detailed and fussy.
Last up for today, a slimline card, perfect for fall. The Wheat stamp is part of Impression Obsession's Slimline Scenes and it's so pretty! I began with a sheet of white cardstock, and inked up shades of pink, orange, and yellow on my Gel Press. I pulled a print to reveal this glowing sunrise sky. Then, I simply stamped the Wheat stamp on top and added a simple sentiment. Remember you'll want to use a stamping platform, like the MISTI, when using these large 8.5-inch long stamps.Well, my friends - are you feeling warm, cozy, and ready for fall?
