PSC#122 - Challenge Reminder: Leaves Are Falling, Autumn Is Calling
by Sphoorti
Hello Poppy Peeps!
It's Sphoorti with a gentle reminder of this month's challenge - PSC#122 - Leaves are Falling, Autumn is Calling!
The days are getting shorter, and the nights are getting colder. Autumn is in the air! This time we're looking for any and all Fall projects. That could mean an outdoor scene, fall colors, or things that you're thankful for!
Projects can be for any occasion, and you're not limited to making cards. We welcome home décor, page layouts, tags and everything in between! It's your choice, just be sure to use at least one Poppystamps die on your project! You must use a Poppystamps product to be eligible to win. For more details, check out the main post here.
This was my take on the challenge.
I began by blending distress inks onto a white cardstock panel, which I had die-cut using the Nordic Lacy Plate die. Next, I used the 2474 Double Scalloped Stitched Frames craft die to cut three sections from the blended lacy plate die-cut. I also used this die set to create gold glitter frames from glitter cardstock for a touch of shimmer.
From there, I didn’t have a set plan, so I decided to experiment with some spare die-cuts I had on my table to see how they might add to the design. Here are a few examples:
I didn't quite like how the kitties looked on the card, so I decided to go with the tiny oak leaves from the 2664 Nordic Oak Leaves craft die cut out in the same gold glitter cardstock I used for the frames. I layered a few of them together to get the chipboard type of look.
I had to upgrade to a 5" x 7" card because otherwise, the three frames wouldn't fit. I felt like the background looked too stark, so, I used the CL5280 Gracious Floral Clear Stamp Set to stamp the large flower all over the card base with light gray ink. Then I adhered the frames offset from each other on the card. I adhered the leaves and decided to go with the 2600 Hugs Moonlight Script craft die for the sentiment.
And that was it! What do you guys think?
Now it's your turn to take on the PSC#122 - Leaves are Falling, Autumn is Calling! Need a little more motivation? How about a prize? The winner of this challenge (chosen at random) will receive a $20 Gift Certificate to spend on their favorites from the store! Remember - projects can be for any occasion, and you're not limited to making cards. Remember - we welcome home décor, page layouts, tags and everything in between! It's your choice, just be sure to use at least one Poppystamps die on your project!
Have a great rest of the week, and good luck, Peeps!
Love,
