September is here… school is starting soon and fall is just around the corner! I’m looking forward to the changing of the leaves and while I’m slowly getting into the holiday spirit, I’m definitely enjoying creating cards using fall colours. Lately I’ve been crafting with the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper and having a lot of fun and that’s where the inkspiration came from for this card.
Some of the designs in the DSP pack are full of different colours, flowers, etc. and some of them are very simple. I liked the idea of using one of the simpler designs for my card mat and then adding a banner or strip of one of the other designs so that the colours from that piece would really pop. So with fall in mind I thought the simple design using Cinnamon Cider and the sunflowers would work really well. From there I used Bumblebee for my card base and ink colour.
The “thanks” came from one of my favourite stamp sets, Beauty Abounds, which I popped up with a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also added some of the Faux Linen Whisper White ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season ribbon combo pack.
For another recent project I cut up one of the other sheets from this pack of 6×6 DSP. Now I have a whole bunch of sunflowers so I decided to add one on the inside of this card.
This was a fun, simple card to make and I really like how it turned out. Here’s the full card…
I’m definitely looking forward to making more fall themed cards and more cards using the Flowers for Every Season DSP.
