Hello and happy Papertrey Ink August Blog Hop Day!! I'm still waiting for my PTI autumn stamps (boo! the postal system!) so I did my own thing this month.......
This month's hop is all about Autumn and......well......I'll just let Nichole tell you herself.....;)
"......create a project inspired by any aspect of fall. How about texture like fabrics, burlap, corduroy or stitching. Then there is color with hues found in autumn leaves, fall berries and other late season delectables. Patterns or motifs such as leaves, pumpkins, wheat and more."
I tried to get out of my comfort zone and into my "courage" zone by making my own patterned paper, stamping/embossing a bit to create texture and using those gorgeous fall hues that I would not necessarily have put together!!
I also used Lisa Johnson's fabulous post regarding ruffling the saddle stitch ribbon- very cool!
Stamps: Polka Dot Basics II, Trademarks, Everyday Classics, Background Basics Retro (on the leaves)
Cardstock: Summer Sunrise, Kraft, Scarlet Jewel, Spring Moss, Vintage Cream
Ink: Chai, Scarlet Jewel
Accessories: Stamping UP! Birds and Blooms Sizzlits Die, Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder, Threading Water border punch (Fiskars), Vintage cream button, twine,
That is so pretty! I just love the color choices! And I must have that die! Stunning! And you are on my sidebar already (lost my blog roll but still have my LPS team!). Ha!
