Tip: When stamping an image with more than one color, remember to add the lighter color of ink to the stamp first. This fun technique adds interest to both the leaves and the interior of the stamped pumpkin.

What to do...

 
  1. Adhere an enlarged photo (approx. 6" x 8") to a 12" x 12" kraft colored cardstock background, positioning as shown. In order to save a step or two, I added the thin white border and brown photo mat to my picture prior to printing.
  2. Stamp the Antique Flower Background image onto both halves of a cream notecard using Soft Sand Shadow Ink. Trim and adhere next to the photo as shown.
  3. Computer generate the quote and print. Adhere to page.
  4. Adhere a strip of ribbon directly below the quote.
  5. Using a border punch, and both teal and white cardstock, create a decorative edge and adhere below the photo and stamped background.
  6. Add machine stitching details to page if desired.
  7. Stamp the word "AUTUMN" from the Season Of Giving set multiple times along the bottom edge of the page using VersaMark. Top with clear embossing powder and heat set.
  8. Stamp the leaf image three times onto a white notecard using shades of ink from the Fall Chalk Ink Queue. Carefully cut out, adhere between the flower petals, and adhere to page.
  9. Stamp the Screen Shadow image onto a white notecard, also using shades of ink from the Fall Chalk Ink Queue. Stamp the Traditional Pumpkin image directly on top using black ink. Cut out, create a flat bottom edge, and adhere to page.
  10. Computer generate journaling, cut into strips, and adhere below the ribbon.
  11. Embellish page with dusty rose Art Flowers, a die cut swirl, punched butterflies, brads, a button and an ivory photo turn.
