Fall

Happy Fall!  We are having some beautiful fall days here.  We just went apple picking a few weekends ago and this card is reminiscent of that.

I used the new Artistic Outpost Hayride plate along with the ruler from the Whimsical Melange plate. Unfortunately the local farm stands around here typically don't have fruit or vegetables that are homegrown as the time to grow them takes all summer. :) 

I also used a ticking stamp from the Kudzu Kafe to create my pattern in the background.  I distressed the edges with a distressing tool and sponged on brown dye ink.
The images are colored with STAEDTLER Karat Aquarell watercolor pencils with a touch of white highlight from a Signo Uni-Ball Gel pen.

Have a wonderful Friday!

It's Time for a Hayride

Today is release day for Artistic Outpost new September Release. The new sets include Hayride and Christmas Chalk. 

I am sharing a tag using the new Hayride set::

I started with a wood grain misted background.  I added the windmill from The Outpost and repeated the grass to finish the grass line.   I stamped the tractor and popped it up in the foreground.  I added the sentiment from the Old Grist Mill plate.

I was having fun with the plate and decided to create a pumpkin patch:

I used the boy image and pumpkins from the Hayride plate.  I added the farm from the Country Life plate.  I stretched the fence to the left.  I added the sentiment from the Typography plate.

The Christmas Chalk plate has some beautiful sentiments that make beautiful tags and easy Christmas cards::

I stamped the sentiment and other images on a wood grain pattern paper using Versamark.  I embossed the images  with white embossing powder.  I cut it out and layered the the image onto white cardstock. .  I added a touch of raffia and was done.  A quick and easy card for my holiday cards.

Hop along to see all the wonderful inspiration from the rest of the design team:
