Making a Gorgeous Autumn Card

3 Harvest Hello Country Home Projects for Fall

Today's Autumn Thank You Card was inspired by the Plaid Tidings Designer paper and its burst of colors. Coloring is a great way to dispel the stresses of life and this card offers lots of opportunities for coloring. I used the Country Home and the Harvest Hellos stamp sets to create this charming autumn scene, then I went to work coloring with my much loved Stampin' Blends. With its random patterns and colors, this card is a lot like autumn in Ohio.

Sorry I couldn't resist sharing a little Ohio Humor. Now let's get back to the details of making a gorgeous autumn card.

Today's card consists of mostly stamping and coloring. I did splatter a bit of ink and scatter some sequins to add a bit of interest to the background. The leaves were stamped on Plaid Tidings Designer paper with Cinnamon Cider Ink and then fussy cut. Believe it or not, the pumpkin was cut using the Apple Builder Punch. It coordinates with the Harvest Hellos stamp set which includes both a pumpkin and an apple.
