Stamping 411 – Autumn Days

July 24, 2009 By Connie | 12 Comments

This set, Autumn Days, was one Demos could preorder.  I ordered it, but then never really played with it until today’s Stamping 411 sketch challenge card!

I started with a base of Always Artichoke cardstock, then layered the print leaves pattern from Autumn Traditions Designer Paper.  I added a Scallop Edge border under the top of the DSP, then some 1/4 Grosgrain Chocolate Chip ribbon to hide the seam.

I stamped the Pheasant in Basic Brown on Kraft cardstock and distressed the edges with my Cutter Kit Distressing Tool.  I sponged the edges with Basic Brown ink, too.  I layered it on More Mustard and did the same distressing and sponging, then layered it on a slightly larger Elegant Eggplant.  I wanted to leave room on this layer for the two Very Vanilla Jumbo Brads.

I like the "rustic" feel of this card!  It reminds me of growing up on the farm!

We’d love for you to play along with use.  Use the sketch and post your entry to Mr. Linky on Stamping 411 website!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    My favorite project here is the playful note card. The colors are great and I love the circles of color with the swirl over it. Very clever.

    Like all your projects, but the last card is my favorite with the spotlights of color. It reminds me of fireworks and any wedding should be the start of a lifetime of exciting fireworks, right? How appropro! Thank you for a great stop on this fine tour!
