Hello!! Hope your week is off to a good start! Stopping in with my card for this month's PTI blog hop. We got another beautiful inspiration photo from Nichole which you can see below. When I saw the photo I immediately thought of my Turning a New Leaf stamp set. I did use that set, but only to stamp the little branches you see behind the die cut branch. I also used Background Basics: Text Style, Fall Elegance and a little berry image from Rustic Wreath. The leafy branch was die cut using the PTI Branching Out die. I first colored up some water color paper using Scattered Straw and Ripe Persimmon distress markers. When the paper was dry I die cut it and then colored the leaves and branch further using Scattered Straw and Ripe Persimmon markers, as well as some brown ZIG markers. Once everything was dry I added a bit of Ice Stickles to some of the leaves on the branch, as well as to the stem. I cut a piece of woodgrain patterned paper and then stamped it with one of the Text Style images using light gray ink. The small branch from Turning a New Leaf using SU! Always Artichoke ink. The little berries were added using a SU!'s Ruby Red ink. Once the stamping was finished I adhered the branch and the little bow tied from some dark brown twine. I'm also going to add this to the current Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge of Autumn.
Supplies: Cardstock: dark brown, watercolor paper; Patterned paper: My Mind's Eye; Stamps: PaperTrey Ink; Die: PaperTrey Ink; Ink: Ranger Distress inks, VersaFine Vintage Sepia; Ranger Icy Stickles
