It is an exquisite summer day here in upstate New York, and I'm out on my backyard garden deck, blogging about fall and winter cards! Although it was difficult to think about those seasons and create cards around them while the temps hover into the 80's, it helps me appreciate the beauty and gifts of each season nature gives us here.
I have three cards to share with you today....
Stamps: Sweet Leaf Circle D20738
Pumpkin Kisses CL9769
I used distress inks to create a highlight spot for the wreath. I stamped the Leaf Circle several times, rotating it for each stamping. The verse and pumpkins from the Pumpkin Kisses set accent the wreath.

Glad For October

Be Grateful Pumpkin
Stamps: Bountiful Pumpkin J20753
I used colored pencils on the pumpkin, and brushed distress ink around it for highlight area. To create the suggestion of leaves off into the background, I used the same distress ink to brush some color through the negative area of the Bird Branch die, using it as a stencil. It's subtle, but it gives the illusion of depth.
All Hearts Come Home For Christmas
Stamps: Kringle D12083
Dies: Fir Trees DIE084-V
I colored all the images with colored pencils. I created the background by brushing some distress ink through the negative part of the Fir Trees die. I added the die cut Fir Trees and Hill Landscape Layers, then fussy-cut the Kringle and Nordic Town images and added them.
