Autumn Tree cu07813
CAS-Favorite   Weekly-Favorite
A big congrats to Jo, the newest Featured Stamper (FS458) on Splitcoast! She has such a lovely gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the colors & fall theme, but I used different images, a little different layout. 
Autumn Tree 07814
To make my clean & fairly simple card, instead of having a long greeting flag across the bottom like Jo has, I used a layout I’ve used many times because I just love the narrow panel. Usually I’ll inset it, like a window, but this time I thought I’d change it up & have it on top. I cut all the panels first & attached the narrow one w/ temporary adhesive, then stamped the tree. I removed the long narrow panel & stamped the leaves (using the splatter bg) w/ the four colors of distress ink. The pile of leaves was stamped at the bottom & colored w/the same inks & I added the greeting. Then I added a piece of card board behind the narrow panel & put it back.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

The Ways to Use It Challenge (WT557) today is ways to communicate. Since I don’t have a postcard or computer image, I went with good ol’ snail mail. I’m thinking this gentleman is probably expecting a box from Amazon, lol. From the look on the dog’s face, it’s probably that box of doggy toys & treats he ordered. Lately, Amazon seems to be only thing you can count on getting to you on time. Yesterday, there was nothing in my mail box..not even junk mail. I can count on one hand & have fingers left over, for how many times that has happened.

Anyway, I stamped the little scene, colored w/ Copics, then stamped the falling snow w/ the tumbled glass ink & die cut it. I wanted to have room for the greeting arc, so I cut off the left side of the circle even w/ the edge. The pine bough was stamped above it & all the hanging ornaments & branches were fussy cut & attached on top. 
Here are the Copics I used.

Isn’t this Christmas Tree Farm image wonderful? After putting it in my Misti and stamping it w/ Memento, I colored it w/ Copics then over stamped using Versafine. It was die cut & I added a kraft colored mat & some stickles. I also stamped, colored, over stamped & fussy cut 3 trees from the Winter Farm image & added them in the lower right corner. After adding a couple more layers, the Merry Christmas was stamped underneath the image. I had a leftover strip of green houndstooth dp that I thought fit right in, so it was attached down the left side. The large Pretty Bow (available at Serendipity Stamps!) was die cut & embossed w/ a dot folder before attaching & I added a holly brad in the bow center.

Here’s a look at the inside (using the small bow) & below it are the Copics I used.
