Hello and happy 1st of September! The last week of August is always bittersweet for me... I'm sad to see summer go but so excited for fall. Our new 2017 September Collection has gotten me in the mood to make fall cards!
September is a popular time for personal resolutions and this fall I have made a few: 1) Do something creative every day and 2) get back to the gym after taking the summer off due to surgery. I could make a much BIGGER list (couldn't we all?) but decided that two seems do-able. Have you made any September resolutions? Care to join me on my crafty quest?
Here's a peek at my crafty card-making adventure for today. Today's card features the new Eat Drink and Be Thankful stamp set. It's quickly become my new fave for several reasons:
1) TWO awesome sentiments
2) gorgeous fall nature images
This card was fun and easy to make. I love our Redwood Background stamp but sometimes it can overpower the rest of the card so I softened it here by adding a piece of Radiant White Vellum paper. The photo doesn't show the background through the vellum but in real life you can still see it but it's just a LOT softer.
I first stamped the sentiment on white cardstock and then created a mask with a small border to cover it. This allowed me to stamp the oak leaf over the mask and gives the appearance that the sentiment is floating above the leaves when you remove the mask. Masking is such a simple technique but can really enhance your card.
Thanks for stopping by today. Have a wonderful LONG weekend and get crafty!
