I love the fall season and today's featured set helps to celebrate the beautiful colors of the season.  I started out by stamping my images from I Am Thankful and the Pumpkins and Sunflowers mini in memento tuxedo black before coloring with prismacolor markers, then cutting out for popping up later.  Once the coloring and cutting was finished, I stamped a background and border in summer sun and mustard inks using the sunflowers from the Pumpkins and Sunflowers mini before popping up my cut out images.

My second project is made using the turkey from the I Am Thankful set and the scenic stamping KISS (keep it simple stamper) method.  After stamping the main image onto some scrap white card stock and coloring with prismacolor markers, I lightly stippled some Tim Holtz distress inks for both the ground and sky before adding my saying.  Once I added my layers, and brads, it was time to add some birds and grass from Scenic Selections before popping the entire panel up over a stamped border from the Pumpkins and Sunflowers mini.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.

  13. Your first card is a home run. I love the sunflowers and pumpkins with the scarecrow. I am going to have to keep that in mind next time I use this set. I love the plaid background behind your turkey. You did such a great job coloring him and I love the added scenic touches. I hope you are having a wonderful, headache free day!
