Stamping with Julie Gearinger: TCC200 Give Thanks

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our new #200 {Autumn Chill} Challenge at the The Card Concept!

Our inspiration photo for this month invokes feelings of the autumn chill in the air, doesn’t it?

We are looking forward to seeing what inspires your card! Will it be the overall theme, the actual elements (book, coffee leaves sweater, etc.), the colors, textures or something else?

I was inspired by the rich fall colors, textures and leaves for my Clean and Layered card.

If you have not already visited us at The Card Concept, I hope you will find the time to do so. Gorgeous inspiration from the rest of my DT sisters! Create a card and join us!

This was a fun card to create:

Trim the purple background paper from the Craft Consortium Over The Rainbow paper pad to approx. 4 ¼” x 5 ½”, emboss with the Foliage 3D embossing folder and then die cut the corner with the TH Mixed Media #1 die.

Lightly sand the embossed panel to raise the detail.

Trim the panel to approx. 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to a 4 ⅛” x 5 ¼” piece of white cardstock, then mount onto a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” black card front.

Adhere the panel to a white card base.

Die cut the leaves using the TH Fall Foliage Thinlit Dies from a piece of the orange/yellow designer paper from the Craft Consortium Sunset Ink Drops 6x6 paper pad. Crush the leaves by hand a bit to distress.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the verse sentiment from the Give Thanks stamp set with Versafine Black Onyx ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, die cut the sentiment with a circle die, die cut another circle a bit larger from black cardstock and layer the sentiment onto the black circle.

Adhere the sentiment to the card front with dimensional foam.

Add the die cut leaves around and under the circle and finish off the card with a few black rhinestones.
