Happy Thoughts of You


Look at this gorgeous inspiration board challenge! Over at Hand Stamped Sentiments we are stamping projects with a fall theme or color palette. I stamped mine using the Fond of Autumn Bundle and with the assistance of three more die set. I used the Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, and Fabulous Frames Dies.

I started this card with an Evening Evergreen side fold card base. Next I added another layer of Evening Evergreen which I embossed with the Leaf Fall 3D EF. Before I ran the cardstock through the folder I pre-inked the raised images with Whisper White Ink. I then very lightly used a Blending Brush to add a bit of Pumpkin Pie Ink which you can barely see in the white areas of the leaves.


All of the stamped images are from the Fond of Autumn Stamp Set. I colored the images with Pale Papaya, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, and Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends. To cut out all the stamped pieces I used the Autumn Bouquet Dies, which are part of the Fond of Autumn Bundle.

My focal layers is where I included the other three sets of dies. The white frame piece is from the Fabulous Frames Dies. The Soft Succulent stitched circle is from the Stylish Shapes Dies. And, the pumpkin, leaves, and berries are all from the Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder Dies.
 

For the pumpkin I used the largest die from the Tree Rings set to cut one of each of the three smaller tree rings. I added Pumpkin Pie Ink with a Blending Brush around the edges of each tree ring and then layered them with Stampin' Dimensionals to make a pumpkin. I used the mushroom die for a pumpkin stem.

To finish I added a shoestring bow of Silver Threaded Twine to the stem of the pumpkin. Wink of Stella is splattered everywhere for a touch of added sparkle. And, there are green Adhesive Backed Season Sequins scattered here and there.
