Well….someone apparently forgot to actually publish this blog post yesterday…..so even thought it’s Tuesday, here you go. Sorry about that!
I do love fall and colored leaves. This card was made with the Love of Leaves stamp set (which coordinates with the fabulous Stitched Leaves Dies!). Instead of using the stamped leaves as the focal point of my card I used them as the background. I used four of the five leaves from the stamp set and chose four colors of ink. The inks I used were Pumpkin Pie, Terracotta Tile, Bumblebee and Pear Pizzazz. I tried using the Old Olive ink but it was just a little dark.
It’s Make It Mine Monday so that means that my inspiration came from someone else. This week I CASEd Brian King. I love Brian’s clean and simple style.
As you can see, I kept fairly close to Brian’s original design. You may know that I have trouble with random stamping but I think I did okay with this card. The nice thing was that I could stamp over the other images and it didn’t matter. The sentiment for the card came from the Country Home stamp set which can be found in the Annual Catalog (page 89). I used one of the dies from the Tasteful Labels die set. This set of dies is great as it has 10 dies of different shapes and sizes. I love versatility!
Have you tried any Make It Mine projects? I challenge you to find a card that you like and make it your own. I’d love to see what you come up with. Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
