Fall reminds me of mums, cooler temperatures and natural elements like firewood, hay and anything that’s wrapped in burlap ((smile)). There are several wood accessories in the annual catalog that are often overlooked. You can find them on page 196. In addition to the hearts and stars there are also flowers and leaves which I’ve used on today’s card. They make the perfect accessory for the Painted Harvest stamp set.
Instead of sponging the wood element I chose to stamp it using the sunflower stamp. I inked it with Crushed Curry and repeatedly stamped it until I was satisfied with the coverage. I did the same for the small wooden leaves using the Garden Green ink pad. Take a close look at the center of the wood flower. I used a black rhinestone to fill the center. I just had to get that ‘bling’ on there somewhere ((wink))!
The Painted Harvest stamp set contains two pieces for the sunflower, called 2-step stamping. One image is larger than the other and the second images provides the details. Layered they create a beautiful linen 3D look.
Adding a neutral color background to any card will create a warm, cozy feeling which is perfect for your November cards.
