Fall is such a great time to take stock of the many blessings in our life. Even when there are challenges, there are always blessings to acknowledge and appreciate. Today I embrace that message with my card.
I've chosen to use Windows To The World 5449 - Autumn Window Set. These are designed to be used with 5408 - Shadowbox Window Die but they can also be used alone to good effect. Each set in the series has a hand written note around the window image and they are often quite inspirational. This one touches me with, "May bundles of blessings abound & joy be yours in abundance this year." What a great wish to offer someone! I stamped this one with Memento ink in Rich Cocoa. I colored it with Copic markers.
The stamps in this line will color up quickly. I added some shading but I didn't use more than two colors for any of the stamped areas. This set comes with a separate basket with veggies and a die to cut it out. Typically the basket would be staged on the outside of the Shadowbox Window Die. In this case, I added a foam dot to help it stand out.
The finished card is 4 1/2" x 4 1/2". I cut the stamped image and the light brown mat with 5061 - Square Double Stitched Dies. I mounted the stack on a fall patterned paper and then directly to a dark brown card base. To finish it off, I added a green button with twine and three green glitter enamel dots.
And speaking of buttons, don't forget to enter your card into the Button and Bows challenge for your chance to win a free stamp set! It's a great opportunity do I hope you'll play along with us.
