After weeks of traveling, I am finally back in my craft room (otherwise known as our living room…hahaha). Today, I thought I would attempt a Fall card using the Accented Blooms stamp set and this years In-Colors. This stamp set coordinates with the Tailored Tag Punch. I live in Southern Arizona, so Fall looks much different here than it does in the rest of our beautiful country. Where others are losing the leaves off the trees and the flowers are going dormant, here in Arizona our trees and flowers are starting to bloom. In fact, I am getting ready to plant tomatoes and peppers!!
Okay…back to card making.
*The base is Terracotta Tile cut at 5 1/4 x 8”. Score the base at 4” and fold.
*I wanted to watercolor the flowers, so I used our fabulous watercolor paper. Cut this layer 5” x 3.75”. *
*For the plaid strip, cut 1” x 3.75”. This pattern came from the 2019-2021 In Color Designer Series paper.
I used Watercolor Pencils (this is an old set I got from the Stampin’ Up! Clearance rack), some Stampin’ Write markers and an Aqua Painter to color in the flowers. Blends would also work very well. I stamped the ”Hello” in Terracotta Tile a couple of times using my Stamparatus. I punched out the sentiment and also another piece of that designer series paper to add that shadow effect. Pop that sentiment up on dimensionals and adhere all components to the base of the card. I added a piece of Very Vanilla to the inside of the card with a small stamp and this card was done!
If you are interested in this stamp set or any other products, please shop my on-line store. And, of course, I am always happy to add team members.
As always, Happy Crafting!! Colleen
