Reason for the Fall Season

I have a feeling that REASON FOR THE SEASON is going to be a favorite set of mine for Christmas.  But I'm not really ready to jump full force into Christmas cards.  So I thought I'd do a fall inspired card to show you this set is not just for Christmas!

Doesn't this remind you a little of sunflowers??  That's the direction I was going in with my colors.  I want fall inspired colors that have mellow tones.  The background is done in Sahara Sand with the WATERCOLOR WASH background stamp.  To see how I stamp backgrounds, check out this post with PDF instructions

The flower is a layering of three stamps.  The first layer is the outline stamped with Crumb Cake.  Next, I added in the leaves with another stamp in Pear Pizzaz and the flower petals with another stamp in Hello Honey.  The layering process gives so much dimension and life to the flower!

I added in a couple of gold details, some thread behind the flower and sequins.  I love the little bit of warm sparkle!  And for the sentiment, I went with COTTAGE GREETINGS, since I so love this font!

It's been forever since I've made a greeting card. There are so many things I need to find time for - hopefully winter will slow us all down and card making can be on my TTD list.

The slow days are a good time to revisit old hobbies! I am so glad that my ideas have got you thinking about it again!
