Lord of the Harvest

 

Hi Friends!

This week at the Stamp Simply blog, the Stamp Simply Design Team have been sharing their gorgeous fall cards.   

Fall in the Mid-Atlantic is so pretty and is one of my favorite seasons! The change in the temperature and humidity makes it easier for me to breathe outside, lol!  Plus, even though the trees are not at their peak color yet, they will be soon!  Another reminder of God’s Handiwork all around us! 

For my fall card, I combined two stamp sets- Harvest and Floral Cluster- Fall Flowers along with scraps from two Craft Consortium paper pads and a lace die cut!

As many of you who follow my blog know, I enjoy playing along with online challenges and am playing along with the Word Art Wednesday #615-#616 Anything Goes Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to check out my Sister DT cards yet, or the Word Art Wednesday challenge site yet, I hope you will do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Trim a piece of Craft Consortium Sunset Ink Drops paper to approx. 4” x 3”.  De-static the  paper with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiment from the Harveststamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, mount the sentiment panel onto a piece of 4 ¼” x 5 ½” black cardstock.

Trim a piece of Craft Consortium Over The Rainbow paper to approx. 2 ½” x 4” and mount onto the bottom of the card front panel.

Use one of the Sizzix Tim Holtz Crochet dies to die cut a piece of lace from white cardstock and mount onto the card front.

Trim a piece of black cardstock approx. ¾” x 4” and adhere over the cut edges of the designer paper and the lace die cut.

De-static a piece of a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of white cardstock an embossing powder tool, ink the sunflower cluster image with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, color with water-based markers.

Die cut the sunflower cluster image using the Floral Clusters and Sprigs Die (also die-cut a second piece from white cardstock to layer behind the colored image).

Mount the background panel onto a white card front and adhere floral cluster image with dimensional foam to finish off the card.
