Hi friends! I'm back with another bit of inspiration featuring Creative Worship Stamps. Although I've been crafting Christmas for design teams, I'm still not quite ready to let go of fall. The falling leaves are so thick here. It's the time of year that you fill 5 leaf bags and an hour later it looks like you didn't rake at all! So much glorious color. So when I sat down to create this week, I decided to turn a traditionally spring/summer stamp set into a fall one.
I started by stamping the two solo leaf images from Hope Blooms randomly on a piece of white cardstock. I then sponged different blocks of color, changing with each leaf, all over the background with distress inks in barn door, aged mahogany, warm honey, scattered straw, and rusty hinge. Once it was all blended in, I spritzed with water and patted dry with a paper towel for some of that classic distress ink texture. Next I sprayed water onto my mat that I had inked on and sopped up the extra ink with some acetate and smooshed it onto the background.
Next I grabbed the Texture Tiles 1 stamp set (an oldie, but a goody) and randomly stamped the script block across the background with a watermark ink, then heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I love the bit of elegance the gold brings. When I was happy with how it looked, I distressed the edges and moved onto the leaf images.
I smooshed another panel of white cardstock with the same colors of ink and then stamped the leaves over it. I then fussy cut just the inner portions of the leaves and glued onto a couple of white leaves I had stamped and die cut with the coordinating dies.
The verse is one of my favorite from a set I designed, In the Psalms. I stamped it in black ink, then die cut with the Stitched Rectangles die and matted with a thin mat of gold shimmer cardstock.
I hope you enjoyed this card. I'm planning on a fun LIVE crafternoon over on my YouTube channel today. Join me at 3pm Mountain for some crafting fun. I'll be making two fun cards with The Paper Escape Whimsical Winter Hangout Kit. Hope you can drop in and say hi!
