The Debut of Autumn Goodness into the Fall Card Series

In appears that the few Fall cards I was going to make have turned into a small collection! I’m certainly not complaining, as a matter of fact, I’m just gonna roll with it. So here you go, my first card made with the Autumn Goodness stamp set. I challenged myself to use the wheat stack on a card and struggled for a bit because I felt like it could only be the focal point. I couldn’t find any designer series paper that I felt matched the colors and the mood I was going for either. As I was putting the card together, I just kept feeling that something wasn’t right. It was too plain and just needed something more. That’s when I thought to make my own background paper with the very stamp that is the focal point! Genius, right?! Ok, well maybe not genius but definitely a good idea. Below is the finished card and as always the specifics, instructions and links to products if you would like to make this card or something similiar yourself. Be sure to come back tomorrow when I will be showcasing some other designers and the Fall cards they have created.

Take what is left of your Whisper White piece and punch out your sentiment shape; if you prefer you can stamp the sentiment onto the paper before punching. Use your Crumb Cake ink.
