Change is Beautiful

Hello! Today I have a beautiful Autumn slimline card to share. I always try to make a card each year using my favorite Lawn Fawn set Happy Harvest. Fall is my favorite time of the year and many times I feel like my fall card making is cut short because we jump to Christmas so quickly. I wanted to make one last autumn card before the holidays take over so here is this year’s installment of my favorite little scarecrow.

I created a warm autumn sky by ink blending scattered straw, wild honey, rusty hinge, and crackling campfire. I added some water to add texture and some gold metallic watercolor splatters. The grass is cut from cilantro cardstock with some shabby shutters ink along the grassy edge.

I wanted to revisit the encouraging sentiments like I did this summer and thought this phrase about Autumn and change was perfect for a fall card. I don’t know about you but I do not like change. I find it hard to deal with sometimes, but it is not always a bad thing, and it is good to be reminded of that sometimes. The custom sentiment is embossed using Riley’s ABCs and Smitty’s ABCs. I colored my cute scarecrow with copic markers and used a white gel pen to add detail to his shirt and a thin black pen to add cross-hatching to his hat. I finished it off with some small solid leaves stamped around with barn door oxide ink. You can see how this card came together in the video below or HERE on my YouTube channel.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
