From Our Patch To Yours
Hello crafters! Today's card is this pretty slimline card using the Autumn Scene dies. I started by cutting the Slimline Outer Scalloped Oval Aperture Trip in white. I added mounting foam to the back of the die then attached a piece of white card as the backing. Using the Stitched Rectangle Slimline Frames, I cut a frame using rust card. I added it with mounting foam to the base piece. next I cut the basket from the Autumn Scenes die set three times out of tan card. I used some Gathered Twigs distress ink on the basket and added the handles to each of them. For the bottom basket, I cut a load of mushrooms out of gray card. To add the elements to the basket, I cut a small circle out of gray and glued all the mushrooms to the top of the circle, then glued the circle to the back of the basket, leaving the mushrooms to show. I added it to the bottom aperture with mounting foam. Next I cut the pumpkins in a variety of fall colours and did the same thing by adding them to a circle then gluing it to the back of the basket and adding it to the middle aperture with mounting foam. For the top of aperture, I cut a bunch of acorns out of gray card and inked the tops with walnut stain distress ink. I glued them to a gray circle then glued the circle to the back of the basket. I added the basket to the top aperture. I stamped the sentiment on white card and cut it out with the Stitched Frames, then glued it across the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 4 3/4" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x

I love how this collection doesn't have to be used with the window. Such detail on the mushrooms x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue and all that entered/ enter. You've captured the gentle warmth of autumn with the beautiful orange and goldy yellow of the season. There's something about autumn that feels relaxing but it seems a long way from those 'orange and soothing golden days.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone is well xx
Hi Sue, another lovely card with a real autumnal feel. Love Jean xxx
