I was completely smitten right away. Not only did the photo feature a warm, autumnal color palette, but it also included a great deal of cozy texture. I knew I definitely wanted to incorporate both elements into my card.
I started by stamping a Kraft card base with polka dots. Then I cut strips of cardstock at random widths and attached them to the sticky side of an adhesive sheet (aka: label paper). It's a super-easy way to do this technique. The label paper held the strips in place as I die cut my Half & Half shape and added texture with the Rustic Burlap impression plate (that one appears to be out of stock at the moment, but I'm sure you could achieve similar results with nearly any plate).
After adhering my colorful strip to my base, I stamped and mounted a Fillable Frames shape over top. I embellished the frame with a leaf from Autumn Acorns and added a little twine bow for even more texture. It's a simple card, but I really love how warm it feels without seeming too earth-toned or drab.
That's all for me today, but I hope you'll try out the color scheme for yourself and share your project over on the Papertrey Ink Challenge forum! Also, make sure to check in with Betsy, Dawn, Heather, Maile, and Melissa as they revisit the Peace Be Still stamp set. Thank you for joining me today! See you soon!
