Autumn Days | Stamp with Rachel

Hi Stampers

Today's card will be one of the ones the ladies will be making at the Autumn Theme Class on Friday, 2 November 2010. All the images remind me of harvest time and is the perfect stamp set to adorn your Thanksgiving table decor.

I was inspired by a card on Stampin' Connection (demo website) by Peggy Finney. Thanks Peggy for your inspiration!

I used Soft Suede Card Stock layer on Tempting Turquoise – such a beautiful color combination. The stamp was colored using Soft Suede, More Mustard, Chocolate Chip and Tempting Turquoise and then stamped on Whisper White Card Stock. I also colored the area around the eye with Real Red Stampin' Write Marker though you can't see it in the photo. The leaves were stamped off before adding to the Whisper White Card Stock. I then lightly sponged around the pheasant using More Mustard Classic Ink.

I finished it off with the leaves which were colored in using More Mustard, Chocolate Chip and Tempting Turquoise Stampin' Write Markers and then stamped on Whisper White Card Stock. I cut them out using the Paper Snips and then added to the front using Stampin' Dimensionals. Oh, I almost forgot! The Soft Suede Card Stock was run through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.
