Inspiration Station Challenge #15 - An Autumn Countryside

Hello and Happy Monday Friends!  Today begins a new challenge at The Inspiration Station and the inspiration photo for this round is a gorgeous Autumn Countryside Scene.


This challenge is an inspiration challenge therefore the photo is just a prompt and your intrepretation of it is your own.  For my design team project, I was inspired to create an Autumn themed card and went with a CAS design.


To start my card, I die cut a square in the middle of a piece of masking paper and ink blended distress oxide inks to create an autumn color scheme.  I spritzed the blended area with water and set it aside to dry.  Once completely dry, I stamped the pumpkin image and sentiment and splattered with white acrylic gloss spray ink.  


I wish I knew where this stamp set was from, I've had it in my stash for so long; the packaging is long gone.  I do think it came from the Scrapbooking Queen, which is no longer in business.  I still use it every Autumn as it's one of those timeless sets that I enjoy creating with every season.

Please stop by the Inspiration Station and enter for your chance to win a fun set of Halloween images donated by my dear friend Donna Ellis at Creative Smiles.  Thank you so much Donna!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
