Hello, sweet blog friends and thanks for stopping by today. Those of you who know me best are well aware that I don't create outside of my little comfort zone very often. However, I've really been trying to do more stamping lately, and....when I saw that September's theme at SSS and other places in the crafting community is stamping in STAMPtember....well, then I knew for sure I had to step out of my comfort zone a bit and do something more fun and adventurous. I don't do it as often as I should. This is me pushing myself to not do the same thing all the time.
I used some old favorite October Afternoon patterned papers, and a piece of ribbed green vellum that I free-handed with my scissors to create a mountainous background of sorts. Then, I used the adorable Happy Harvest Stamp Set from Lawn Fawn to stamp the corn, corn stalks, scarecrow, wagon, pumpkins and sentiment. I used my Copics to color everything, and I hand-cut all the pieces. I thought about adding more, but I just decided to stop and not over-think it. What do you think? Please be honest, I can take it.
I'll be sharing my card in a few challenges that I'm linking below. Again, I thank you for visiting me today and for your kind comments. I always enjoy your visits, and look forward to visiting your blog soon. Have a blessed and creative day.
Oh, here are those challenges I mentioned....I LOVE playing along.

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge - Challenge #36 (See Challenge Badge and Inspiration Mood Board Below) - I used the adorable Happy Harvest Stamp Set from Lawn Fawn to create my card. I was inspired by all the rich Autumn colors (oranges, reds) and the blue sky, green grass, and all the elements of Fall.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great card Karen - you did well to stop when you did, as the rustic theme does not need anything more added. Love your 'mountains'!
