Gather Together Card

Welcome back!!! Today it’s Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop time and we have a fun fall color combo.

With the new catalog, as a demonstrator, I was able to pre-order products last month, BUT the Come To Gather Suite just wasn’t on my original list, till I found out about our challenge for this week.  Well, I love leaves and decided to order it along with the Designer Series Paper from the Suite as well.  Boy, I can tell you, and as you can see below, I am so glad I ordered this Suite.  Here is what I came up with.

Isn’t this card so gorgeous???  Check out those leaf dies!!!  With the Canadian Thanksgiving just a little over a month away, I think this set will make beautiful cards to send to your loved ones.  In the new catalog we have the beautiful Metallic Delicata ink pads, and since some of the leaf die cuts are embossed, I figured it would be fun to add some gold shimmer to them.  It’s so easy with the Sponge Daubers.

And how about the colors of the leaves and pumpkins!  I recently saw Tammy Wilson coloring her pumpkins using Pretty Peacock and I thought I would stamp them with Cajun Craze and color them using the Pretty Peacock Stampin’s Blends and I think they turned out so pretty, but what do you think?

INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE THIS CARD:

(Please scroll down for the downloadable PDF)

1. Cut the card base, which is Whisper White cardstock 4-1/4 x 11, score and fold at 5-1/2.
2. Cut a 1-1/2 x 5-1/2 Wood patterned Designer Series Paper and adhere to the left side of the card front.
3. Cut a 3 x 5-1/2 Cajun Craze pumpkin patterned Designer Series Paper.  Cut a 3/4 x 5-1/2 Pretty Peacock checkered pattern Designer Series Paper and adhere to the left side of the pumpkin patterned panel and adhere all to the card front as shown on picture.
4. Stamp two large leaves using Cajun Craze ink and die cut it.  Dry the ink with the heat tool.  Do that, so when you watercolor the leaf, the ink won’t run.  Watercolor the leaf using Pretty Peacock and Cajun Craze inks.  Once they dried, adhere them to the card front as shown.
5. Stamp one of each pumpkins using Cajun Craze ink onto Whisper White cardstock and using the Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends combo, color them in.  Leave some white space to show depth.
6. Cut a 3 x 3/4 Pretty Peacock Leafy patterned paper strip and adhere on top of the leaves.
7. Cut a 3 x 3/4 Whisper White cardstock strip and using Early Espresso ink, stamp the sentiment on it and cut the ends in an angle and using Stampin Dimensionals adhere on top of the Pretty Peacock patterned paper strip
8. Die cut a little leaf using Pretty Peacock cardstock and using a Sponge Dauber add some Golden Glitz Delicata ink to it and tuck it in under the sentiment.
9. Finally adhere both pumpkins on the card using Stampin Dimensionals.

And here is a close up look of the card.

And while I made my card, I decided to make a bunch more and send these cards out as my Thank you cards to my clients.  So these are going to be on their way today.  Some of you are getting these with your Paper Shares and aren’t you glad you signed up for the Paper Share?  LOL…
