Hello! HAPPY THANKSGIVING to everyone in the United States!!! I hope you are meeting with friends and family and eating until you are stuffed!
It’s also Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. This color combination is in the Blackberry Beauty Designer Paper. I must admit that it was one that I never would have put together on my own!
HARVEST MEADOW
I decided to use my Harvest Meadow stamps again. I put them away while working with fall leaves and Christmas, but I do love this image!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Cinnamon Cider cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 piece of Blackberry Beauty DSP is added on top with a 1-1/2 x 4 piece of coordination DSP over it.
- The Basic White cardstock was stamped with the flower image from Nature’s Harvest in Memento Black Ink and then colored with Rich Razzleberry and Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blends.
- It was cut with the largest Stitched Labels Die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Cinnamon Cider and cut with the long label in the Harvest Dies. It was added with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Finally, a trio of copper Brushed Metallic Dots were added to the background.
- A little Wink of Stella was added to the flower petals!
Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this color combination over on Create with Connie and Mary!
