ICS Blog Hop - September 2024 - Fall Fun!

 

Welcome to our Inspire - Create - Share Blog Hop for September 2024!  So glad you are here!  Fall is definitely my favorite time of year.

Our theme for September is Fall Fun - which elicits memories of walking or driving through tree lined lanes with covering of fall leaves and colors.  

You might be hopping on over here from Tricia's site - wasn't her post wonderful!

Enjoy all the inspiration!!

So for my card I decided to work with those leaves and a couple of my very favorite sentiments in the Autumn Leaves stamp set.

#162179 Autumn Leaves Set $24.00

#162185 Autumn Leaves Dies $38.00

The colors of Fall are so beautiful - but I chose to go with Old Olive and Crushed Curry - 

One of my favorite background techniques is just a repeated sentiment as I used here with "With a Grateful Heart" and one of my favorite techniques for a more natural card is the distressed edges.  So I used a piece of DSP from the Wildly Flowering DSP pack, using the more neutral side - and using the edge of my snips and then my fingernails I distressed the entire edge of the DSP.

You can see it little more clearly in the picture above.  Then I colored our Rhinestone Gems with my Old Olive Blend and made them match - it's so fun to be able to color our ribbons and embellishments with our Blends.

I hope you were inspired - now be sure to follow the hop through and see what other creative ideas this team came up with.  See you next month for this hop!
