Autumn Greetings
Hello there my crafty friends! For today's card, I used an older die called the Birch Tree Forest. I cut it with a piece of grey card and moved it across and cut it a second time for a longer panel. I glued it to a white backing piece. I cut the two larger mushrooms from the Autumn Harvest die set out of taupe card for the base and dark grey and brown for the tops. I cut the smaller one out of dark grey and brown. I added them to the background forest and used some tufts of grass around them. I also cut some fern fronds and leaves to add around them as well. Using the Double Pierced Rectangles, I added a wider white frame with a thinner brown frame on top of it around the scene. I cut the Autumn Greeting sentiment in brown, shadowed it in black and glued it above the mushrooms. I cut and assembled Millie the Mouse and added her onto the corner of the frame. The card was completed with brown and white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

ReplyDeleteLoving the birch in the background, will try this with a stencil as I don’t have the die, but it gives the card depth… Great post 😊
