Let’s Gather

Welcome back, everyone! I hope you enjoyed a restful weekend. We always enjoy a weekend where we’re able to spend time together. And we had the perfect weekend for that. The weather was glorious. It’s really starting to feel like fall here.

And speaking of fall, this week we’re going to be creating fall-inspired designs with our crafty stash. We’re getting started with the Gathering Moments stamps and a more unconventional color palette. I love looking for unique color pairings and there’s no better way to pull inspiration than simply taking a walk and making mental notes of all the hues you see! And today’s color palette is inspired by the pinks, blues, and purples that we see but that don’t get as much attention.

We get started with a neutral base of white cardstock. Our focal panel is a piece of white cardstock that is diecut with the Textured Notes die and matted with a piece of the pink Flower Garden Foils textured specialty paper cut with the largest Perennial Postage die. The smaller leaf stamp from the Gathering Moments stamp set provides the repeated image for our wreath of foliage. The leaves are stamped in a combination of pinks, blues, and purple. The sentiment is also from the Gathering Moments stamp set and is heat embossed with copper embossing powder before being cut with the Stylish Shapes circle die. The sentiment banner is cut from the pink textured foil and the sentiment panel is then mounted in the center of our foliage with dimensionals. We finish things off with a bow of Petunia Pop iridescent ribbon and some two-tone sparkle gems.

I really love how combining the lesser-scene hues of changing leaves provides such a stunning result. Tune in tomorrow as we continue our tour of fall design ideas.
