I was inspired by the colors and the photo. I went through a bunch of fall themed stamps and found one that belonged to my mom that I had never used before so that is my "NBUS" stuff for this card as well as the designer paper that I used.
Here is my card:
Details: Card Stock: Early Espresso, Night of Navy, Basic White and More Mustard*(retired) - Designer Paper (Plaid print from DCWV - Pumpkin Patch Stack.
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Early Espresso, More Mustard*
Stamps: Have a Festive Fall - Stampa Rosa, Acorn/Leaves -Studio112 which was purchased at JoAnns many years ago and never used.
Other: Fishtail Dies - MFT Stamps, Circle Nestability Dies, Colored Pencils, Gamsol, Distress Tool, Sponge, Masking Paper.
For this card I stamped the image on the white card stock and again on masking paper. Then I cut out the image from the masking paper and laid it over the image on the card stock and sponged the Night of Navy ink over it. I took the mask off and colored the rest of the image adding in some of the navy with a q-tip in places where I missed the ink from sponging.
The sentiment and the leaf image were mounted on the card with foam tape for dimension. I distressed the edges of the mustard card stock with a distressing tool and also brushed some More Mustard ink around the edges.

ReplyDeleteWow, you couldn't have gotten closer to the inspiration image! This is a fabulous card with the plaid and oak colors. Great layout. I love when a stamp endures over the years. Sometimes the oldies are the besties!
ReplyDeleteLove the rustic look of your pretty fall card, Ida! I have forgotten about distressing the edge and how much interest that adds to a rustic design, so thank you for that reminder. And thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
