Hello crafty friends! I am over the moon to share that I’m guest designing with Pretty Pink Posh for their amazing September release! This is day 3 of the blog hop celebrating the release. Be sure to comment, hop along and go back to the first two days to comment and increase your chances of winning too!!!
Okay, let’s get on to the fun card I have to share with you! I had so much fun creating this one and I hope you love it too!

I started by stamping and coloring images from Mouse Friends and Fall Envelopes and colored everything with my copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out and started working on my design. First I thought I would scatter the small images all over the background that wasn’t working so I created a blended panel with distress oxides instead.

I started with an A2 panel and distress oxide in aged mahogany, ripe persimmon and wild honey. Then I added the foliage stencil from the Layered Foliage stencil set and inked it up again. The color difference wasn’t enough so I place it back down and used white pigment ink over the top instead. I love the faint leaves this gave.

Next, I cut the largest Scalloped Circle from white cardstock and glued it off the edge of the panel and the started adding my images with foam squares and liquid glue. I trimmed the circle hanging over the edge and then decided to trim the panel down on the other sides to 4×5.25 inches. I popped the panel up on a white card base with foam tape. Then I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Fall Envelopes, cutting it out with the coordinating banner die and popped it up on a foam strip.
For finishing touches I added glossy accents to various things like acorn tops, the berry and cheese spots, along with the mouse’s nose and sunflower center. Then I glued down a scattering of the new Sunset Orange pearls.
Isn’t this card so fun and sweet!?! I love the images with that sentiment. Sharing gratitude is so wonderful and always makes people smile. We don’t do it enough.
