Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards. Our September theme is “Feathered Friends”. So many great bird images in Stampin’ Up!’s lineup…this should be fun!
INSPIRATIONAL SKETCHES
For this card, I’ve combined an Annual Catalog set with a new Sept-Dec Mini set! I love these Changing Leaves images! This card came together really easily with minimal coloring!
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pecan Pie cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock was embossed with the Leaf Fall Embossing Folding (Online Exclusive) and added to the front.
- The bird from Inspirational Sketches stamp set was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Wild Wheat and Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends. It was hand-cut.
- The first three-leaf image from Changing Leaves stamp set was inked with Pumpkin Pie Ink and stamped on Basic White cardstock. The second three-leaf image was inked with Wild Wheat and Pumpkin Pie added with a sponge dauber, then stamped on Basic White cardstock. They were cut with the Changing Leaves Dies.
- The smaller leaf cluster was cut from Basic White cardstock, then sponged with Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wheat Inks and run thru the Changing Leaves Embossing Folder.
- The skeleton leaves were cut from Pumpkin Pie cardstock. All were assembled on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the large label in the Changing Leaves Dies. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of Faux Glass Dots were added to the background.
This bird reminds me of the ones flitting around in our woods behind the house! Check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
