Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and our BackStage is almost over.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #221 is Give Thanks.  Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Bundle along with the Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my Clean & Layered card today. I was inspired by the colors and the gourds in the photo

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 221.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Using the Blending Brushes, add Cajun Craze and Lost Lagoon Inks to a panel of Basic White. Cut the panel using the largest Amber Autumn Die. Adhere the die cut panel to a panel of Gathering Together DSP. Adhere the layered panel to a Cajun Craze mat.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the pumpkin/gourd image from the Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink. Color the image using Cajun Craze, Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon, Old Olive & Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the image out using the Amber Autumn Dies.

Wrap a piece of the White 1/4″ Ribbon around the layered panel and tie a bow. Adhere the de cut image over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the layered panel to a Lost Lagoon card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. On the panel of Basic White. stamp the sentiment from the Amber Autumn stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. Cut the sentiment cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Earthy Matte Dots to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Amber Autumn stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the leaf image from the Amber Autumn stamp set on the top of the panel in Cajun Craze Ink. Adhere a panel of Gathering Together DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the leaf image from the Amber Autumn stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the envelope front. Color the leaves using Cajun Craze, Lost Lagoon and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Gathering Together DSP to the envelope flap.
