Autumn Mums Birthday

Hello sweet friends!  Today I'm sharing two cards on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog...this is one of them.  Now that September has arrived, it will not be long until we start to see the splash of beautiful fall colors displayed on trees and foliage.

Creative Nugget:  Distress Oxide inks were applied to a stencil, spritzed with water, and pressed onto mixed media paper to create the background. The mums from the Autumn Mum Greetings were masked and stamped onto the bottom of the panel.  A rectangle was cut from the panel and the mums on this portion were colored with Copic Markers.  The colored mums were mounted to black card stock and popped back into the card.  Several more mums were colored, cut out, and popped onto the card for additional dimension.  A sentiment from the So Happy stamp set, some twine, and a few splatters were aded to finish the card.

This card will be submitted for the following challenges:
A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge September #9 - Anything Goes
Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #307 - Make Your Mark

Thanks so much for stopping by...have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,
