Welcome to another challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!
This week Jenn has made us a photo inspiration to work from! You can do something for Halloween or for fall, however this moves you:
The Design Team are using Simon exclusive products this week. The changing of the leaves is one of my favorite delights about the season, and both my cards this week reflect that. The picture in the upper right rang true with me; my family always took a drive each fall, packed a picnic, and got outside for a long walk in the woods to enjoy the crisp air, crunchy leaves, and gorgeous colors.
Next up, another wreath, this time using die-cuts:
supplies: ivory cardstock, cherry wood veneer, Simon's Nutty Over You and sentiment from (retired) Autumn Blessings clear stamp sets, various fall ink colors, wood heart, twine, Christmas Red stickles, adhesive foam squares
I used a circle die to draw a light circle on my cardstock, then stamped the leafy branch all the way around it. After erasing my pencil lines, I filled in with other elements from the Nutty set, and then fussy-cut my wreath out. Before popping it above my card base, I added a twine bow, a wood heart dipped in red ink, and some Stickle berries. I thought the wood veneer panel was a nice addition to my background.
