Last Week's Card & Cuppa - Etched Autumn

My Card & Cuppa attendees asked me for a card that would work for a Wedding Anniversary and sympathy for a bereavement. I knew right away which Stamp Set I was going to use.

When the September Online Exclusives released, the Etched Autumn Stamp Set jumped straight into my basket. I could see how versatile it would be.

For this project, I chose autumnal Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso, along with Basic Beige.

The image was stamped and then coloured using Watercolour Pencils. I wasn’t too precise with how I coloured, just putting patches of various green, red, yellow, orange and brown across the leaves. They were then all pulled together with a Blender Pen. The result is a lovely autumnal feel.

For the sentiment, I used the Choose Happy Stamp Set to make a Birthday Card, rather than an Anniversary or Sympathy card. This was stamped onto a shape cut out using a Circle Punch from the Online Exclusives range. It was then layered onto another punched circle, this time the new punch from the Annual Catalogue.

A length of Linen Thread creates a swoosh before the sentiment is added using Dimensionals.
