Hello and welcome to day 3 of the My Favorite Things September release countdown! Today's post has more fall themed cards to share with the new Pure Innocence Thankful Friend stamp set as well as the Fall Florals stamps. And we now have Label Maker Sentiment stamps, yay!! ;)
For my first card today I used the Thankful Friend stamp to create a cute little fall scene. I thought it would be fun to pair the image from this set with the leaves from the Harvest Mouse stamp set so it looked like she was raking leaves.
I stamped the large pile of leaves first and then covered them with a mask so I could add the stamped girl on top. I wanted it to look like her foot was in the leaf pile and the masking helped to do that. I then masked her leg and stamped the second pile of leaves.
Once I was done all the stamping, I removed the masks and coloured in the image with Copic markers. I also added some blue and green around the edges with my dye inks and an ink blending tool.
I stamped some falling leaves beside the girl and covered them with glossy accents and then adhered the stamped panel to a kraft cardstock mat. I added the finished piece to a white top-folding card base.
For my second card I used the new Fall Florals stamp set with the new Label Maker Sentiments stamp set to create a simple card with some fun coral and yellow flowers.
I stamped the florals onto a piece of white cardstock and then stamped the stems over top with black ink. I then stamped, cut out and adhered the label sentiments to the bottom right corner.
I diecut the stamped panel with the Double Stitched Rectangle die, matted it with black cardstock and then put it on a Grout Gray card base stamped with the Typewriter Text background.
I added glossy accents to both the label sentiments and the flower stems for some added detail and dimension. I love the contrast of the black against the coral and yellow... so pretty!
