Honey Bee Stamps "Autumn Afternoon" Blog Hop Day 2

Now, on to today's hop.  You should have come from the so talented Amy Tsuruta, and you will find the complete hop list for today below.  For my card today, I used the SO beautiful Hello Fall stamps and Honey Cuts.

I'll keep my description brief as I know you need to keep hopping!  For all of the leaves and stems I used my MISTI.  I placed them onto the door and used finger daubers to add various Distress Oxide Inks to the stamps. I used these Oxides:  Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber, Aged Mahogany, Peeled Paint, Crushed Olive, Forest Moss, and Vintage Photo.  I lightly misted them with water and stamped them onto Bristol Smooth card stock.  When they were totally dry, I stamped the stems/leaf veins in Versamark, added gold embossing powder and heat set them.  I also gold heat embossed the sentiment from this set and cut it with the coordinating Honey Cut.

"When I count my blessings, I count you twice"!  Y'all this sentiment is one that I will use many times, on the card front, and also perfect for the inside sentiment! 

After I die cut everything, I arranged and adhered them with the Copic colored pumpkin (from last year's awesome Fall Bouquets Honey Cuts).  I added this to a card base I created with the A7 Double Stitched Frames Honey Cuts, Scallop A7 Card Frames Honey Cuts, and a strip of paper from the Harvest Festival paper pad.

I love every product in the Autumn Afternoon release!!  Do you have a favorite?
