Autumn Tree

Posted on November 14, 2015 11:22 PM by Julie 1 Comment

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.

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.

Happy Fall Scarecrow

The Sketch Challenge (SC565) on Splitcoast is an easy one. I did tweak it a bit by flipping it upside down & using the long rock fence in place of a separate horizontal band. So while the sketch is easy, my card was a bit more difficult due to all the masking I had to do. This is also for Kathleen’s HYCCT1512, Make it Tasty. Plenty of tasty pumpkins on my card!

This fall scene is all on one layer but the rock fence, the scarecrow, the pumpkins & the crow on the branch are all separate images. The scarecrow & pumpkins were stamped first, masked, then the wall was stamped. I had to do the wall twice because the wall image has a gate but I wanted to leave that part out. Then the crow was stamped. I used a reverse circle mask & sponged in the sun & colored everything else with Copics. Two little fussy cut leaves were added along w/ the greeting.

Here’s the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
