Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. I hope everyone’s week is going well.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Colors of Fall. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Bundle, Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree Bundle and Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set for my Clean and Simple card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #181.  How are you inspired by this photo?

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set on the bottom of a Basic White card front. I embossed the panel using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.

On a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock, I stamped the branch image from the Perched In A Tree stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the image our using the Aspen Tree Dies. I adhered the branch to the top of the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped leaf image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Inks. I stamped the outline image full strength and the fill image in the same color stamped off once. I cut the leaves out using the Chic Dies.

I adhered the Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie leaves to the branch using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Blackberry Bliss and Real Red leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Season of Chic stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a Basic White panel. Using the Chic Dies, I cut 2 of each of the detailed leaves from Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie cardstock. I adhered the die cut leaves to the top of the panel. I trimmed them even with the panel using my Paper Snips. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf images from the Season of Chic stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Inks.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
