A Heartwarming Note and Hints of Autumn

Greetings!

The Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Papers (DSP) is a favorite of mine.  It includes wonderful simple graphics on one side that are fantastic for a subtle textured look, and the other side of the papers have beautiful scenes and allover botanical looks that get you through the entire year.  

The scattered leaves print that I used on today's card provides the perfect background for "A pleasant little note" from the Painted Pheasant stamp set.  This stamp set is the only set available with a "Happy Thanksgiving" stamp in it along with so much more.  Lastly came the question of which label to stamp the message and image onto. The large label from the Painted Labels die set is the winner.  Not only is it the perfect size and shape, but notice the beautiful detailed embossing around the edges.  Here's how it all came together.


I love the "A pleasant little note" message.  How sweet is that!  It's like you can't wait to open up the card and read the message inside because you know it's going to warm your heart 💗😊

The grasses image is colored with three colors from the Neutrals Stampin' Write Markers assortment.  Stampin' Write Markers are such a great option for getting an assortment of colors and are the perfect solution when wanting to have multiple colors on one stamp.  I purposely selected three colors from the same color assortment to keep it a more cost friendly option.  Make sure to add an assortment into your cart today and see how much it opens up your creative options on your stampin' projects.  With a brush tip on one end and a writing tip on the other, you can get as detailed as you need to when coloring your stamps, or coloring in your outlined images.
