Fall Inspiration!

Okay.... Here is my latest and greatest! The other day I posted about my inspiring walk. Although the ideas were swirling in my head I was not able to get my creativity out because I had a looonnnggg day of conferences. I got a few things accomplished between conferences but not nearly enough. Luckily Friday was the next day, and I took advantage of the weekend starting!

The card base is 6 1/4 x 9 - folded in half. I cut the green polka dot paper at 6 x 4 1/4. I punched the edges of the paper with a large ticket punch and adhered it to the base.

The sun flowers are a Heartfelt Creations stamp. I colored them with my Spectrum Noir markers - GB5, CT2, and CT4. My friend Ange gave me that combo of colors. After I colored and cut out the flowers, I curled them with my curling tool. Then I glued them on top of each other and used a combination of glue and pot dots to make them look 3D.

The leaves are also a Heartfelt Creations stamp that I recently purchased. I loved it but I wasn't sure how I was going to use it until my wonderful walk!

I stamped the leaf stamp 2 times for each card. I colored the leaves with DR3, OR1, and GB4. I cut around one of the stamps - the leaves and the swirls. I cut just the leaves out of the second stamp set. I used my curling tool to curl the leaves. I glued the whole stamped image to the base of the card and then I attached just the very bottom of the stem with a dab of glue. I covered the tops of the curled leaves with Glossy to give them a wet look.

I added the sentiments in the corners and outlined them with black. They came from a card kit that we used at a class last year at the Great Lakes Mega Meet.

These cards were the first of the inspiration I found that morning!

Happy scrappin! Hope you feel inspired!
