While next week Fall officially starts, this weekend is the start of the Jewish new year and so we’re getting different things together to celebrate. That’s also where the inkspiration for this card came from… apples are a big part of the celebrations and so I thought I would do some blending with Harvest Hello. This is a fun set for this time of year, plus it works great for teacher gifts, and so I’ve got a few more project ideas floating around in my head using this bundle.
Once I decided on using the Harvest Hello stamp set I had to pick my colour combination. There’s a few options… Granny Apple Green, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Real Red to name a few. I ended up going with Old Olive and Real Red for the colours of my apples, so I used Old Olive for my card base (the Real Red was just for an extra splash of colour). I love the depth of colour you get when you colour with Stampin’ Blends and the Apple Builder Punch made this super easy!
I also wanted to add in some other fall/nature themed elements, so I used the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder. Then I used the Stitched Rectangles dies to create a frame with some Crumb Cake cardstock. Inside the frame I used Crumb Cake and Old Olive ink to stamp some leaves and then popped up the frame using some Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside of the card I stamped an apple slice with Old Olive ink and then coloured it in with the Crumb Cake and Old Olive light Stampin’ Blends.
This was a fun card to make. I always love when I get to colour whether it’s with the Watercolour Pencils or blending with the Stampin’ Blends. Here’s the finished card…
