Ink. Stamp. Share. September Monthly Blog Hop Autumn

As September comes to an end, we are all embracing Autumn and getting in the spirit creating projects for the new season. Our Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Design Team is looking forward to sharing their projects and ideas to help spark your creativity for Fall.

The early signs of Autumn have arrived and the colors are already starting to change. The bright colors of Summer are being replaced by the warm, muted tones of Fall and I am loving the chance to create projects with a new color palette. For my card design, I chose to use the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks to create a lovely sunflower design. Here in Colorado, the sunflowers are putting on their final display and I love seeing these beautiful flowers along the road side. I chose to use Crushed Curry with a touch of Pumpkin Pie for the flowers and Pecan Pie with Early Espresso for the centers. The leaves are a combination of Old Olive with Mossy Meadow. This clean and simple card design is a wonderful way to show the transition of seasons and would work well for a variety of occasions.

The Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks are the star of the show with this card design. I love how each layer lines up to make it so simple to create a beautiful design. The notches and numbers in the top left corner help you to know what sequence is needed to create your beautiful sunflowers. I used Blending Brushes to apply the ink colors and I love the softness that they create. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Translucent Florals stamp set with Gold embossing powder. I added the sentiment to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals and finished off the card with a couple of Gold pearls for a touch of bling. I used this design for a recent card swap and I loved how easy it was to create a lot of cards in a relatively short amount of time with these masks. I hope it inspires you to explore creating your own beautiful projects for Autumn and beyond.
