Hi everyone! Guess what today is? Officially the FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN 2021! Yayyyyy! Happy Fall Y'all! I'm giddy with excitement that my favorite season has finally arrived! Sunday morning we went to a local antique fair and we went out early in the morning....the air was crisp and cool and fresh....and it felt like Fall. And there were big poofy clouds. Thank you Jesus I exclaimed! After the hot dry summer we've had here, what a relief to feel some fresh air. Football has started, we already went to the apple orchards and our house is wall to wall decorated with Fall decor. Life is good today! I hope you're having a good week. Lots going on right now!
Today I'm participating in a big Instagram Hop to feature the new September release from Pretty Pink Posh. If you have Instagram, be sure to head over and leave comments for a chance to win a prize! I'm sharing the same card here today - as on Instagram.
My card features the new Fall Corners Stamp Set. I tucked it into the Easter Basket Die and added a sweet scarecrow! The finished card is a white A2 card base. I layered some olive/white gingham (very old from my stash), some kraft, and then white. I used lots of Copics to color this scene with really vivid colors.
Such a cute guy! Tip: I chose my patterned paper first and then matched the green in his shirt and the leaves - for a cohesive color palette. This is one way to bring your cards to another level. Two different greens would have looked nice, but I feel like this looks planned and matching. I put a cute little acorn tucked into his hat.
Here's a close up of those gorgeous pumpkins!!! This floral/pumpkin spray is all one stamp. Super easy!
I die cut the Easter Basket out of kraft cardstock and then inked it with some distress inks and added white splatters...
I tied a bit of twine around the handle and added one orange enamel dot.
Autumn Greetings my friends!! I hope you enjoy the rest of your week. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Love that basket and I have that one...the scarecrow is so cute and I do so love that corner die with the lovely pumpkins! Great job... it has been in the 40's here at night. Two days of rain so it feels colder. Better by the weekend. I don't care for the rain because it will take down too many leaves and we will miss out on our gorgeous fall foliage. TFS
