Take the {Fall Color} Challenge

It’s time for another Take the Challenge with Clear & Simple Stamps. This month’s challenge is a color challenge with a definite fall feel--Summer Sun, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, and Close to Cocoa.

I used the Woodlands set to create a simple fall scene. The circle tree image is paper pieced and layered with foam tape for dimension. I used Copic markers to make the grass beneath the tree. The set's "happy birthday" sentiment is stamped on a strip of Summer Sun cardstock and accented by a single silver brad. I don't use this shade too often, but in small amounts, it really pops! I used a piece of Chocolate Chip twill to separate the image from the sentiment, then layered them on a Close to Cocoa panel.

I found some BoBunny designer paper that has most of the challenge colors in it to use for the large panel on the cardfront. I liked the contrast of the paper's stripes against the circle pattern of the tree.
