It's Bearly Autumn!

Hi, friends!

It's design team member Walter back on the blog today.  My last post on Halloween got me thinking that I'm ready for some Fall weather.  It's my favorite time of year!  The crisp, cool air.  The smell of falling leaves.  Pumpkin everything!  With that in mind, I created this card to feel a little bit of Fall in the summer.

Here's what I used to make it:

• Autumn Leaf Costume Bear Rick St Dennis Line Art Rubber Stamp
  
• A2 Kraft Card Stock card base
• 3.75"x5" Brushed Copper card panel
• 3.25"x4.5" White card panel
• Deckle edge oval die
• Tim Holtz Tea Stain Distress Ink
• Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink
• Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink
• Brutus Monroe Ice Grey Vintage Mist Spray
• Brutus Monroe Brown Vintage Mist Spray
• Brutus Monroe Mint Chroma Mist Spray
• Brutus Monroe Apricot Chroma Mist Spray
• Alcohol markers and Metallic Gel pens

Here's how I made it:

• Rubbed the Kraft card base with Vintage Photo Distress ink pad along the front edges of the card; rub Tea Stain Distress ink pad along the side edges of the card base.

• Used the deckle edge oval die to cut out the center of the Brushed Copper card panel.

• Stamped bear image and colored it with alcohol markers and color leaves with metallic gel pens.

• Use an ink blending brush to add a light covering of Antique Linen Distress ink.

• Use a piece of scrap paper to cover the image of the bear.
• Take the Brutus Monroe Mint and Apricot Chroma Mist sprays, remove sprayer, and gently tap the end with the plastic tube over the card panel to add splatters.  Repeat with the Brown Vintage Spray Mist.

• Remove scrap paper and spray image with Ice Grey Vintage Mist.
• Once dry, use craft glue to adhere the brushed copper panel over the stamped image panel.
• Use craft glue to adhere the combined panel to the card base.
• Cut a sentiment strip from scrap white card stock, run Antique Linen Distress ink pad over it.
• Used a black marker to write sentiment, put craft glue on the back of it, and adhered it to card.

 This is such a cute card with a vintage feel to it.  I can almost taste the pumpkin bread!

Thank you for spending some time here with me today.  See you again soon!
