Happy Monday and Happy Labor Day to all of my friends here in the States. Today begins a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge. The Autumn season will soon be upon us and the inspiration photo this month is a gorgeous, autumn countryside scene:
For my project, I've used the new Stampin' Up Autumn Expressions Stamp and Die Bundle along with the Splendid Autumn 6x6 paper pack. The designer series papers in this pack are beyond beautiful and I let the paper do most of the work on this card.
I was directly inspired by the autumn colors and trees in the scene. I love visiting areas in parts of the United States where the leaves change colors in the Fall, our Florida Palm trees stay green year round!
For my card base, I've used SU Wild Wheat cardstock, the mat behind the designer series paper strips and sentiment is Blackberry Bliss and the die cut frame and chain are cut from Cajun Craze card stock.
For added interest, I've die cut leaves from SU Mossy Meadow cardstock and added some twine strips behind the sentiment, which has been popped on dimensionals. Lastly, I've added amber gems for a bit of shine. I've also decorated the envelope flap using Cajun Craze ink and pretty wheat stalks from the stamp set.
We certainly hope you'll join us this month at The Inspiration Station Challenge and share your inspired projects. We would love to see what you create.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
