Hi friends! It's been hot hot hot here in Sac-town again! 101 degrees today on my way home from work! Yuck…bring on the Fall weather please! The light is changing and there are leaves blowing across the driveway. It just doesn't seem right that it's so hot. Oh well, what are ya gonna do? I'm still staying in my Fall mood and cranking out the Fall cards! The card I have to share today was my entry for the September Hero Arts Blog Contest. You could make anything Fall or a window card…I did both. There is still time to enter!!! I had fun changing up a Spring stamp – I'll show ya.
Here's the front of my finished card:
And here's the inside of the finished card:
This stamp actually has little flowers on it…and I didn't want them on there! I put some tape over the little guys before inking up my stamp. Then, before impressing it, I took the tape off! Voila…no more flowers. I do this a lot with my stamps. You can take the words off something, or just one part of an image. Makes your stamps more versatile.
Here is the stamp, next to my image as it came out. I also stamped a bunch of the leaves on another piece of paper and cut them out to add more Fall foliage!
I used my trusty Copics in the classic Fall colors of orange, yellow and red. I made the little birdies red. Usually when I do this stamp, they are little bluebirds.
I used my Nestabilities to cut out my frame for my window card.
I had to eyeball it to get the branches I wanted to show through the circle…
Then I used another one of my Nestabilities to make a brown frame. It really seemed too plain without this step.
Here are all the stamps I used!
In this photo you can see where I added the extra leaves.
Thank you for stopping in the check up on me today! I hope you are having a great week! Buddy is right here passed out on the floor and he says Hi to everyone. Take care!
