Happy Wednesday!! It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps Built. And this week is a fan favorite: Anything Goes! Here is my inspiration card for you:
The card started with this card blank that I have had in my stash for at least 15 years! The oval was already cut into it, and since I usually use sketches, this really hasn't fit any idea I've had. But, I am in the process (a very slow and long process) of cleaning up my craft area and decided it was time to use it. I was thinking a Christmas card, but for some reason Fall jumped into my head and I went with it.
I started by stamping the sentiment through the opening, directly onto the inside card base. Then I stamped and cut out my leaves. I wanted to add some acorns, so I created a "branch" so I could adhere them in a cluster. The card needed just a little something so I stamped random dots all over half of the card for a little fun. I finished the card off with a bit of scrap rafia that has been in my stash for ever!
