Fall Thank You

Happy Fall! DT Annalisa here today, and I am sharing a fall scene with happy squirrels playing in the leaves as they prepare for winter. This card features the Jumping With Joy Clear Stamp Set from Time For Tea Designs.

To create the background, I used a scene die from my stash to die-cut mixed-media paper and then coloured the die-cut pieces with Distress Watercolour Pencils. Specifically, I used Gathered Twigs, Frayed Burlap, Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo, and Brushed Corduroy for the trees; Twisted Citron and Peeled Paint for the grass; and Salvaged Patina and Mermaid Lagoon for the sky.

Next, I assembled the scene by using liquid glue to adhere the pieces to an A2 card base. I added some extra texture by splattering white Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain with a paint brush.

Once the background was complete, I moved on to adding details. I stamped several images from the Jumping With Joy Clear Stamp Set, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out with the coordinating dies. To finish the elements, I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. The heart flowers are from Ewe Are The Best, the tiny flowers are from Just Married, and the mushrooms are from You Got Mail.

I used liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to stick the images to the card. The sentiment is from the Brighter Days Sentiment Cards, White on Black.
