The 25th of the month snuck up on me, and I didn't get started on this card until this morning. I love the inspiration piece of this month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop, so I was determined to create a card for it.
I'd like to report that it came together quickly, but alas, not so much. There are all kinds of scraps on my desk, and at least two versions of the card are in the circular file. I am happy with the end result, but would have preferred to have posted it an hour or so ago!
I started with the fall leaves and the music in the inspiration piece, stamping and fussy cutting some Leaf Prints, one on a musical themed patterned paper (Theresa Collins, perhaps) and the others with Distress Inks on watercolor paper. Then the red berries from Spruce and Sprigs with some Glossy Accents. The acorn sticker is from Little B. I die cut a stitched circle from Rustic Cream paper and mounted it on a piece of woodgrain (again from the inspiration piece) paper from MME. The die cut (from Ripe Avocado) and stamped sentiment are from the Color Pop Autumn Mini-Market Kit, which is turning out to be a great purchase. Then I popped it all up with some fun foam and added it to a Canyon Clay card (to pick up the orange in the inspiration piece) and added a stitched strip to the bottom of the card for a little added interest.
Off to see what inspiration is linked up for the hop. There are 12 birthdays in November on my calendar, and I need to make a lot of cards.
