Autumn

 Hello, Janet here with a fun fall card. Easy to color and send to a friend.

I stamped the cornstalk with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white cardstock. I colored it with copic markers. Then, I tore the edges of the white cardstock to make it look rustic. The word Autumn is stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturn ink. Using a stipple brush and orange ink, I added some color to the background of the stamped image. I layered the white cardstock onto brown checked paper. It reminds me of an old screen door. Next, I stamped double leaves on the designed paper with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them. I layered that onto brown cardstock and attached that to the card front.

Just A Note Card

Hello Stampers. Vicky is here today. 
Since school has started, I wanted to show our Spiral Side stamp.

I had some corkboard paper and mounted it on the black cardstock.

I wanted to show a cover, so I used green cardstock and cut a piece of white cardstock for the paper.

I adhered the cardstock to the corkboard paper.

I stamped the Spiral Side twice on the cardstock. Then, I added the other stamps and embellishments to make them look like corkboard pins.

You could add lines and write your own message.

Stamps Used:

Spiral Side

Just A Note

Feet Flower Sm.

I'm Sorry!

I hope you liked the card and have some ideas for the Spiral stamp.
