These cards are a departure from my more often Clean and Simple cards, but I fell in love with the Pretty Pink Posh "Fall Basket" when it was released last month. I have some ideas for more CAS versions, but here are my layered up cards.
I really filled up this basket with pumpkins, apples, eggplant and some foliage. Dimensional tape on the front of the basket allowed me to put the veggies inside. The patterned paper is a favorite from Sunny Studios--Gingham Jewel Tones, and I die cut an oval from cream card stock as a backdrop for the basket.
The Sentiment Suite tag from The Greetery was already stamped with a sentiment from Gossamer Blue--a scrapbook company I frequented in my scrapbook days. All the veggies were die cut from scraps in my scrap basket. I added some Distress Inks on most of them with a finger dauber.
I had a lot of apples left over, and decided to do a square card with a basket of apples.
This time I chose a more traditional gingham pattern from My Favorite Things "Tiny Checks." The tag here is also from the same Greetery set and stamped with one of the sentiments from "Sentiment Suite: Birthday."
I layered the two basket pieces together without dimensional tape here, and it does make for a flatter card, more easily mailed.
Just Us Girls Challenge is asking you to use your scraps: done! The Card Concept and The Paper Players have Autumn themed challenges, so I'll be adding the first card to those since the colors were inspired by the challenges. The Card Concept asks that you define the style of your card. Reading their definitions, the first card is Clean and Layered (clean lines, many layers, patterned papers . . .) And, once again, I'm sending this to NBUS--it's my first time using these dies.
