Welcome to this week’s Mix-it-Up Monday for Doodlebugs! We’re into full fall mode with Halloween behind us now so let’s celebrate that with a sweet fall-themed card today!
This card actually started with the sentiment which I created for another card but it didn’t end up fitting. I always save those items in case they can be used later on. So with that in mind, I inked up the Lawn Fawn Autumn Breeze stencil using a combo of fall colors on a kraft panel. I cut that panel with a Spellbinders Emerald Cut Labels and Tag die, then inked the edges with brown for depth.
I chose a few images from the Mama Elephant Hey Pumpkin stamp set to stamp and watercolor. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and arranged everything with my sentiment on the kraft panel. The sentiment has 3 layers of white cardstock behind the blue so it stands up nicely. I added the images with foam squares so they’re on the same level.
Next, I found the green polka dotted cardstock in my stash but you could always stencil or emboss your own to match. That is glued to a card base with liquid glue and the sentiment/scene panel is popped up on that with foam tape.
Watercolor doesn’t say “shiny” or “sparkly” to me so I don’t typically add any finished touches like that to these cards. I like the muted tone and the soft way about them, so I leave them how they are. But if you’re in the mood, add whatever speaks to you!
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
