Hi Stampers!!
I
wanted to create a card using the great colors at this week's CQC214 ColourQ Challenge along with the fabulous FMS111 sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.
With
Thanksgiving on the horizon, I wanted to create an Autumn card and love this
retired set, Close to Nature and pulled out retired rub-ons (I believe they
were called Autumn Traditions). 
If
you have not visited the ColourQ or The Freshly Made Sketches site yet, I hope
you will take the time to do so- again, fabulous inspiration from all!
To
create this card:
Stamp
the image using Early Espresso Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock and
color using Stampin’ Write markers in So Saffron, Early Espresso along with the
retired colors, Bashful Blue and Dusty Durango.
Punch
a piece of So Saffron using the Big Shot™ with the new Square Framelits™ (the 1
½” frame) and punch out a piece of Early Espresso cardstock using the 1 ¾”
Square Punch.
Place
the rub-on at the lower right hand part of the Whisper White card front and rub-on thoroughly (not sure of the shelf life of the rub-ons but I have quite a
bit from previous years so I will need to start using these :-))
Cut
the banner piece from Early Espresso and So Saffron and add to the card
front. Use the Big Shot™ with the Square
Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to create the horizontal piece
on the banner.
Add
the focal image using Stampin’ Dimensionals® and mount onto a piece of Early
Espresso cardstock and onto the Whisper White card base to finish off the card.
