A Touch of Autumn!

For our September Class, I chose some autumnal colours and the lovely new stamp set, Painted Harvest.

For this card we used the tri-layered stamping technique where the 3 Very Vanilla layers are placed on top of each other then the images are stamped ensuring that they go over the borders then the layers disassembled and Chocolate Chip matts are added back in between each layer.  this is the wonderful Painted Harvest stamp set which is a two-stamp image where the background of the sunflower was stamped in Crushed Curry and the detailed top layer stamped in Pumpkin Pie.  The leavers were stamped using Garden Green and cut out with the new Leaf punch.  The greeting was taken from  Flourishing Phrases.

Our second autumnal card was made using the baby-wipe technique where drops of Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler and Crushed Curry were dropped onto a baby-wipe and left to blend before using this as an ink pad to create the leaves.  This card also used a similar technique to the first where we stamped the tree trunk (stamp set Sheltering Tree  ) across two layers then removed the top Whisper White layer and stamped the leaves before re-assembling with a layer of Early Espresso in between.  The greeting was taken from Happy Birthday Gorgeous.

Our 3D project this month is a new style box I found on Pinterest called the self closing box.  It is very simple to make using the Score-board and for this we used the other leaf stamp from the Painted Harvest stamp set along with the acorn to make our own DSP.  The colours used were Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Garden Green. The greeting was taken from the Blooms & Wishes stamp set , punched out using the new Pretty Label punch and clipped to the box with some Burlap Ribbon and a Gold Library Clip.
