Hi Everyone!
I hope all my US friends had wonderful Thanksgivings this past week. I know I certainly did. I enjoyed my days off from work, spending time with my Family and getting some Christmas shopping done. Today I want to share the card I made for the current Lawnscaping Challenge #22. The challenge was to create something based on this inspirational photo… which by the way is just lovely.
I just love the fall harvest feel of this picture. There are so many great elements and textures in it that I tried to pick up on as many as I could. Here is what I came up with.
I wanted to pull in the texture of the burlap and grey weathered wood of the picture. So I used a burlap rectangle I picked up at my local craft store and embossed the grey background panel with a woodgrain texture. In addition to the obvious apples in the photo I wanted to pull in the fall feel of the leaves, so I created a fall tree. I chose to stamp my sentiment on vellum to incorporate the glass bottle in the background of the photo.
Thanks for stopping by, have an amazing day!
