Amber Autumn for As You See It Challenge #360 - Happy Harvest Theme

I came up with the theme challenge for As You See It Challenge #360 this week and I chose Happy Harvest as the theme! To be honest, we're probably pretty much at the end of harvest where I live, but enjoying the harvest decor, though I predict that soon the Christmas trees and lights will be out in full force after today, or at least after Nov. 11, when we celebrate Remembrance Day, our Canadian homage to our veterans.

I thought I would get one more use out of the Amber Autumn bundle and I found some DSP that pairs well with it: Timeless Plaid 6" x 6".

Here's the Challenge Banner:

And here is a closer look at the card I made:

• I started with a Crumb Cake card base, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". I added a Very Vanilla layer of 5 1/4" x 4". On that I stamped a grass image from the Prairie Grass stamp set in Crushed Curry.
• On a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the pumpkins image from Amber Autumn in Early Espresso ink. I coloured the image in using Stampin' Blends markers and die cut it using the Amber Autumn dies.
• I also die cut a couple of grass pieces from Old Olive cardstock using the Amber Autumn dies.
• I cut a piece of plaid DSP 1 3/4" x 4" and wrapped with some of the Irregular Weave Trim, then tied with a small piece for a faux knot. The plaid DSP was adhered to the Very Vanilla layer on the left side.
• Using Stampin' Dimensionals, the pumpkin image was mounted over the yellow grass image, as shown.
• Using glue dots, the green grass pieces were tucked behind the pumpkin image.
• The sentiment, from Amber Autumn was stamped on Very Vanilla with Early Espresso ink and die cut with an Unbounded Love die.

Winterly Tree Tops for As You See It Challenge #342

It's theme time at As You See It Challenges and our team mate, Jane, has come up with a sweet one, For the Birds, a bird theme. Most everyone has a bird themed stamp set or patterned paper to work with so this topic will appeal to most. I decided to go with the little birds in the Winterly Tree Tops suite, carried over from the Sept/Dec Mini catalogue. Here's the Challenge banner.

I decided to go soft colours and off white, so I chose the Timeless Plaid DSP, Crumb Cake and Basic Beige cardstock.

• On a card base of Crumb Cake, I added a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic Beige that I embossed using the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder and lightly enhanced with Crumb Cake ink using a Blending Brush.
• I cut a 1 1/2" x 5 1/4" piece of the Timeless Plaid DSP and glued it at the bottom of the Basic Beige piece, then adhered both to the card front.
  
• I stamped the two bird image on Basic Beige with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then coloured it in using our Watercolour Pencils, Assortments 1 & 2. I used a Blender Pen to lightly blend out the pencil strokes and blend the colours together.
• I die cut the image using the Winterly Tree Top dies, and added it to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Dimensionals.
• As embellishments, I added some Faux Glass Dots.
