Thinking of You – Amber Autumn

Design Time for The Card Concept (#220) and we have a Cozy Fall themed inspiration photo this month.  I picked up on the Knitted Throw, Book Pages, Pumpkins and Colors.

I opted for a clean and layered styling for this card choosing the Sunday Stamps (#370) Sketch.

I am also sharing this card with Inspired By (#356) for the Knitted elements and Coloring in the inspiration photo and Four Seasons (October) for their Fall theme.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Early Espresso cardstock.
• Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Basic Beige cardstock dry-embossed with the retired Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder.
• Blocks: Pumpkin Pie, Copper Clay (retired) and Basic Beige cardstocks scraps.
  • Pumpkin Pie cardstock die-cut with the (1½” x 1½”) Stitched Square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set and then dry-embossed with the retired Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.
  • Copper Clay cardstock also die-cut with the same Stitched Square die and then stamped with one of the text images from the now retired Elements of Text stamp set with retired Copper Clay ink.
  • The Pumpkin image from the Amber Autumn stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with Copper Embossing Powder onto the Basic Beige cardstock piece and then colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Colors chosen: Pumpkins – Light and Dark Peach Pie, Light Timid Tiger and Light Pecan Pie; Gourd – Light and Dark retired Wild Wheat; Corn – Light Wild Wheat and Light Pecan Pie; and Leaves – Light Old Olive.  The Pumpkin scene was then die-cut with the (1⅞” x 1⅞”) Stitched Square die from the same Dies set.
• Sentiment Label: Early Espresso cardstock scrap.
  • The sentiment, thinking of you brings joy to my heart, from the Branching Out stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder and then die-cut with the (2¼” x ¾”) Stitched Rectangle die from the Textured Notes Dies set, an On-Line Exclusive product.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  The top Pumpkin Block and the Sentiment were both popped up with Dimensionals.

I look forward to seeing how the Card Concept photo and colors inspire you!
