Hello, stamping friends!
Today’s card uses the gorgeous Autumn Opulence Designer Series Paper. I love the deep plum background with its watercolor pumpkins, golden wheat and little white berries. It suits this time of year perfectly, and it pairs so well with Blackberry Bliss cardstock.
To make the patchwork look on the front, I cut the DSP with the Perennial Postage dies. The postage-stamp edges give each piece a pretty scalloped border, and the strip of Blackberry Bliss showing between the panels frames each one. I left a spot in the center for the sentiment. “Grateful” comes from the Thanks & Giving stamp set and is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink. To finish the front, I added a few Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots.
The inside sentiment, “Blessed to have you in my life,” comes from the retired Amber Autumn stamp set, also stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink. For a little surprise, I fussy cut one of the pumpkins from the Autumn Opulence DSP with my Detail Scissors and tucked it into the bottom corner.
This card is a great way to show off a beautiful paper and use up the pieces left over from other projects. It would be lovely to send for Thanksgiving, or to anyone you’re grateful for this season.
Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
