Autumn colors

Fall is supposed to be here although we haven't found it yet around here. That isn't unusual in Southern California. I like to pull out the fall colors though for creating cards.

I saw someone use this PaperTrey, Inc. set of flower stamps recently on their blog and it was one of those things where I knew I NEEDED that set NOW! I just love this flower, here I used two sizes.

The sentiment is also by PaperTrey, Inc and I cut a label using a Spellbinders Shapeabilities. I love these because it cuts the shape and then you can also emboss it. I colored this while the die was still in place.

Most of my coloring is done with a couple colors of Memories Mist sprays by Stewart Superior. I love these sprays because the mist is fine and the colors are so strong. I then added in some colors with Copic Markers and the white tips of the flowers are colored with a white pencil. I added dots for accent with Tulip Fahion Bead Paint.

I wanted to use more of my Jillibean Soup papers and other supplies. I used a cardstock from The Chocolate Box collection by Core'dinations. You really would think that Core'dinations made this cardstock just for these Jillibean Soup papers, they go together so wonderfully. I made the side, score lines with a Scor-Pal and then sanded them. You can then see that great, green core to the brown paper.

I used a Cuttlebug embossing plate on the beige cardstock and then cut the label shape from a label that I saved for a pattern.
