Hello my dear ones (deer ones!) Happy Monday!? Already?? This month, another month, has flown on by. But, for me, that's awesome.... Because it's one week closer, one month closer to FALLLLLLL! I'm so giddy and ready for Autumn this year. I've already fully decorated our house with all the fall things. Pumpkins, leaves, pillows, candles, tiered trays.... I got it all going on. It's like when you enter our house you're entering "Fall Land" and it makes me happy. We have to find the things that make us happy right now. The air is just very slightly cooler in the mornings. As a photographer, I notice that the light is changing to being a bit warmer. The days are getting shorter. These are all things that make me happy. College football starts in a couple of weeks and I'm hopeful we can actually go to some games this year. I'm COVID weary like everyone else, but Autumn brings hope. We had a nice weekend here and now it's time to kick off a crafty week! I hope you are doing great where you are!!
My card today is made with some of my personal favorite stamp sets from Hello Bluebird! Everything they make is so dang adorable that it brings a smile to my face! The finished card is a white A2 card base that I covered with mini gingham from my stash. I used woodgrain paper and die cut a stitched oval from the center to make my frame for the cute images....
I put white cardstock under the oval cut out piece and attached that piece with foam tape to pop it up. All the images are attached with foam tape also. Here's a top down view of my layers.
I stamped and die cut out two deer friends, the branch, the squirrel, leaves pile and apples. Then I colored everything with Copic Markers. To me, early fall is apples, not pumpkins. (weird I know).... So I kept orange out of my color palette even though this is a fall card. I popped in red instead of orange. I really like the color way on this. I used some pumpkins in my photo staging to warm up the photo. I stamped the sentiment onto the white paper under the oval.
I colored up these cutie pies for the Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge to post on my Instagram....
Aren't those the sweetest stamps you've ever seen?
That's it for today! I am sending you a big hug and wishing you a very very happy week ahead!! I'll be back later this week with some more fun projects. Hope to see you soon! XOXO
