Fall Time Fun

I love fall! It's my favorite time of the year. As I was sitting at dinner tonight with my partner in scrapbooking crime, ideas began to formulate in my mind. This card was inspired by our dinner conversation tonight!

Here's how I made it:

1. Cut the base - 6 1/4 x 9. Fold in half.

2. I colored the sunset background. - I used a plain white piece of paper and several orange and yellow Spectrum Noir markers. I colored from one side of the paper to the other in lines. The lines aren't straight on purpose. I wanted it to look real.

3. I cut and attached the green paper. I just free handed it. After it was attached to the sunset paper, I punched the corners of the paper with a large ticket punch.

4. I took the Heartfelt tree stamp and stamped it with Versa Mark and embossed it with a copper embossing powder.

5. I stamped and embossed the wagon on a piece of tan paper using the above steps. Once it sat for a few minutes, I cut it out.

6. I colored in the tree using a brown Spectrum Noir marker.

7. I took the grass clump stamp that came with the Heartfelt tree and wagon stamps and I stamped it on the green paper. I used a Tim Holtz Crush Olive distressed ink pad. I stamped it once and then moved it slightly and stamped it again. This is how I got it to look kind of dimensional like real grass.

8. I attached the wagon with pop dots to give it some dimension.

9. I used raffia to make the little bails of hay. I also put some around the edges of the wagon to make it look like it was coming out of the top of the wagon. I also added the raffia to the ground.

10. I felt like it needed some else so I added the gems in the corners.

There you have it! It was pretty fast to make and lots of fun! I love craftin and hopefully you've found some inspiration today! Thanks for coming by!
