Fall Porch Fusion

Here's my card for the current Fusion challenge.  I combined elements from the inspiration photo (the color scheme and wreath element) with elements from the sketch to create this seasonal design.

My wreath is from Papertrey Ink's Wreath for All Seasons stamp set.  I stamped the berries first on a cream circle, inking the stamp with multiple warm fall colors, then stamped the wreath in brown ink.  To go with the dot-like berries, I found a piece of dotted patterned paper in similar colors. After edging it with a strip of kraft cardstock, I adhered it to a clay colored card base.  The wreath panel was adhered on top.  Instead of using an oval panel, I stamped the "give thanks" sentiment from PTI's Falling Leaves stamp set on a kraft fishtail flag strip.  I placed it over the bottom of the wreath image, then added an orange button with a loopy bow to one end of the strip to anchor it.

Materials Used:
Wreath for All Seasons and Falling Leaves stamp sets, Canyon Clay and Kraft cardstock, Autumn Abundance patterned paper (Papertrey Ink); Memento Rich Cocoa, Tangelo, Rhubarb Stalk, and Morocco inks (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); circle dies (Spellbinders); Fishtail Flag STAX dies (My Favorite Things); twine (Lawn Fawn); orange button
