Anyone Feel Fall in the Air?

Well, if you’re checking out GinaK's new StampTV video, you’re going to see it’s very close! She is using items and stamp sets from her new “Signs of Autumn” StampTV kit!

Autumn is my favorite time of year, so I was extra excited when I learned I was going to get to share the awesome images and sentiments from this kit with you!!

The kit will be available starting tomorrow, July 30 at 10 PM CST at GinaK Designs and will retire just before the September kit debuts.

I love, love, love pumpkins and sunflowers!! Hey, I’m tellin’ ya, this set was made just for me! The sunflowers and pumpkins are colored with Copics. The top sunflower is popped up on a foam dimensional. See the little pumpkin in the trio? After coloring, I carefully cut out the little guy, glued the two down, then popped the third on more dimensionals. Normally I’d stamp and color a second one, cut it out and pop it over, but this worked out perfectly!

I “dirtied” up all the edges with Old Paper Distress ink to give it more of a “country” feel. Don’t you just love the sentiment!

The card base is Gina’s Pure Luxury Soft Sand along with a new Digi paper, what else but…”Signs of Autumn”, Indian Corn…and this new yummy color, Green Apple! It’s very close to SU’s Old Olive and Kiwi Kiss, 2 colors that I just love! Here’s a comparison:

 I love the weight of this cardstock, it’s perfect for embossing and cutting out images… two things that I love to do!!

 

When I saw this solid rooster silhouette, I knew I had to try a beautiful sky with the rooster as the focal point…and what better technique to use than Smackin’ Acetate. Gina has a great tutorial here.

I used Zig markers on a piece of thick acetate and cut my Pure Luxury White cs first with my Inverted Scalloped Square before patting it down on the spritzed markers. The colors are much richer than the photo turned out. I thought the Inverted Scallops went well with the “sunrise” idea.

And that paper? More of the beautiful Signs of Autumn called Bee Hive. Look how it matches the Green Apple! Like the ribbon? I colored a pale green ribbon with  Copic marker YG95 Pale Olive!
