It's time to hop with the SBTD (Stampers By The Dozen) Blog Hop and this month our theme is Fall Florals. Now that September is here, we begin to see the leaves change color as Fall approaches and the flowers change from bright summery colors to warm, rich Autumn tones. I hope that you will be inspired by the projects in this blog hop and be encouraged to create your own Fall projects.
My card today does not feature what you would think of as traditional Fall colors. I chose to use Blackberry Bliss and Mint Macaron for my card design, colors from the Country Lane Designer Series Paper pack (item #147804) in the new 2018 Holiday Catalog. I just love the way these two colors look together. The card base was created from Blackberry Bliss cardstock and I added a layer of Mint Macaron cardstock that I embossed with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (item #143706) to add a touch of texture.
Next I added a piece of one of the papers from the Country Lane Designer Series Paper cut to 3"x4" and attached it to the Mint Macaron layer. I embossed a 1"x4 1/4" strip of Blackberry Bliss cardstock with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder and attached a piece of 3/16" Braided Linen Trim to the strip. I then attached this strip to the card front, covering the seam line.
For the sentiment, I punched out a circle from Whisper White cardstock with the 2" Circle Punch. Using the floral image from the Country Home stamp set (item #147678) I inked up the image with Mint Macaron Classic ink and stamped off once on a scrap of paper before stamping the image onto the circle. I then stamped the sentiment with Blackberry Bliss Classic ink over the top of the floral image, centering it in the circle. I layered the Whisper White circle onto a Blackberry Bliss cardstock circle punched with the 2 1/4" Circle Punch and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the card, I colored three small Basic Pearls with the Dark Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends Marker (item #147910) and attached them to the sentiment.
This clean and simple card design can be recreated using any of the beautiful paper designs in the Country Lane Designer Series Paper pack along with the coordinating cardstock to create beautiful Fall cards. You could create a variety of designs as a gift set for someone special.
