Leaves Are Falling With Brutus Monroe

Well, here we are at the end of October already.  That went by SO quickly, didn't it?  Wow, I'm quickly realizing that Thanksgiving and Christmas are literally right around the corner.  Well, I've been getting in the Harvest spirit lately by using the new Harvest Inspiration Box from Brutus Monroe.  This warm and welcoming new set is perfect for the season.

This card started with some of the cardstock from the Inspiration Box as well as a piece of the printed paper from the box.  I used those along with a small strip of the orange glitter paper and some green glitter paper from another Inspiration Box to run across my card - since this box does not include a ribbon assortment.  I stamped and die-cut the GORGEOUS leaves with Tim Holtz Oxide Inks and colored them with my Copics.  I wanted the leaves to be "falling" because the sentiment says "leaves are falling, Autum is calling"....so I made the leaves fall on the cute scarecrows.

As I like to do, I did some black machine stitching around the outer edge of my card.  The sentiment is stamped on a scrap of the paper I used for the background which is also included in the Inspiration Box.  Everything you see here on my card is included in the Harvest Inspiration Box, so you could literally make this exact card.  I love this time of year, and the Harvest Inspiration Box really celebrates everything Autumn.  The "boy" scarecrow is raised up with 3-D Foam Tape.

By the way.....there's a FUN challenge waiting for you all over at Word Art Wednesday.  This time, we are sponsored by the AWESOME Erin Lee Creative.  You won't want to miss out on this Anything Goes/Family Friendly Challenge where you can share your art, get some encouragement and inspiration, and play along to win awesome prizes.  Please come play along with us at Word Art Wednesday.  Here's a peek at my card using the free digital scripture image and lots of products from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.
