I Heart Fall

My favorite season of all is fall.  Since moving to California 4 years ago, I have really missed seeing the leaves changing color.  Lawn Fawn's latest release has a beautiful set of stamps that got me in the fall spirit (I just had to use my imagination a bit!).

 

I started by using watercolor paper to give the card some texture and it works really well with the Distress Inks.  Then, I stamped using Argyle Backdrops with Distress ink.    I then used the Forest Border die to use as a stencil and used a foam applicator to apply Distress Inks...I really liked how it turned out.  The Sweater Weather set has a stamp for the trunk of the tree and a separate stamp for the leaves which makes it super easy to stamp the leaves any color that you want.  It also has a small leaf stamp so I used it to put some leaves on the ground.  I love the sentiment included in the set...so sweet! I finished off the card using some Lawn Trimmings to make a loopy bow and put a wood veneer leaf on top.  I colored the leaf using the same ink pad I used to stamp the leaves on the tree. 

Thanks for stopping by!
