For today's card, I thought I'd use the change of season for inspiration. This card has absolutely no colouring on it, just stamping and coloured cardstock. I used one of the super cute fox images from the Foxes Stamp Set and used a couple of brown shades of ink to give it some shading. Of course, I used my Misti for this! I stamped the whole image in a light brown ink, stamped then inked only the lower portion in a darker brown and stamped again. This gives a really pretty effect. I also stamped the tree trunk and leaves from the same set onto different colours of cardstock. I die cut everything using the co-ordinating dies.
To create my little scene, I did a light wash of watercolour onto a scrap of watercolour cardstock. Using the centre of the rounded edge label die from the Dotted Patterns Set 1, I gave that strip a really cute edge!! I used the same die to cut a piece of brown polka-dotted paper and layered the two pieces together. I adhered all my little bits and pieces to the watercolored piece and the scene was complete!
I was just going to adhere my little label onto an ivory card base but decided it needed just a little extra something. So, I die cut the rectangle die from the Dotted Patterns Set 1 out of ivory cardstock. I adore all that dotted detail!! The sentiment come from the Happy Stamp Set which I stamped in a mid-tone brown ink.
To finish off, I used a few sequins from the Autumn Fusion Sequin pack.
Thank you for stopping by today!! Have a great day!!
