Autumn Bouquet Second Time

As I promised yesterday, today I am posting another card using the Impression-Obsession fall stamp AUTUMN BOUQUET.   

In yesterday's post I used non-fall, cool blue and green colors.  Today, I'm going all-out fall!  

STAMPS: Impression-Obsession -  AUTUMN BOUQUET
             Impression-Obsession - EARLY SUNSETS (thankful      verse)

On Strathmore vellum bristol paper, I stamped the AUTUMN BOUQUET image a few times around the outside with TH distress ink in antique linen.  I used just portions of the stamp.  I colored the images using Polychromos colored pencils in muted fall colors, staying with golds and browns, with touches of brick red.

When finished with the coloring, I used vintage photo distress ink to add background blending.  I embossed the thankful phrase with gold.

I layered the panel onto gold glitter paper from my stash, then foam taped it to a textured rust colored A2 card.  Some fall colored gems finish off the card.

I hope you are inspired by this small but mighty stamp, and my creations.  Thanks so much for your comments, and for stopping by today.
