Happy Friday! I hope you have some crafting time planned for your weekend.
Today’s card is a simple Fall hello showcasing the Rustic Harvest Bundle. The deep color tones in this Product Suite are warm and inviting, but I went in a slightly different color direction. I’ve always admired the Crumb Cake and Bermuda Bay color combination, and today I added Soft Sky and Cajun Craze. Hope you like the color switch.
Today’s Card Pieces And Parts
- Naturally, I have layers!
- The Basic White card base is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side.
- The Cajun Craze layer is 5 1/4″ x 4″.
- I cut the Crumb Cake layer 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″.
- The Basic White top layer is 5″ x 3 3/4″.
- All the elements except for the maple leaf are die cut using the Rustic Pumpkin Dies.
- I stamped the pumpkin on the left with Bermuda Bay ink and used my Blender Pen to add some color.
- The tall pumpkin is die cut using Basic White cardstock. I used Soft Sky ink and a Blending Brush to add color to it.
- The maple leaf is one of the Leaf Tags from the Rustic Harvest Suite.
- Once I had all of my elements inked and die cut, I arranged them on the card front.
- A few Fine Sparkle Adhesive Gems embellish the card front.
Coloring Tips and Tricks
- Using a blender Pen is a quick and easy way to add a little color to a stamped image.
- Once you stamp the image, simply pull the color from the stamped lines to create a light shading.
- I inked the edges of the maple leaf with Bermuda Bay ink and a Sponge Dauber.
- Using a Sponge Dauber to add ink to a cardstock edge is a quick and easy way to give a layer, sentiment banner, or image some dimension without using Dimensionals.
- You can also quickly and easily shade a stamped image with ink and a Sponge Dauber.
So, grab your Blending Brush, Blender Pen and a Sponge Dauber, and add a little accent color to some pretty pumpkins!
… the only limitation is your imagination!
