Autumn Has Arrived -- Picket Fence Studios

I have been so honored to be a guest designer this month for Picket Fence Studios for their July release!  Today I'm sharing one more card I made with some of the beautiful new products.


I wanted to create a night scene for the beautiful Autumn Has Arrived stamp.  First I stamped the image in black ink onto 80# Neenah.  I kept the stamp in my MISTI and stamped it again onto masking paper.  Then I cut the masking paper image out with my scissors.  (I didn't even bother cutting the pine branches on either end.)

I placed the mask over the image and used ink blending brushes to color through the Mini Haunted Moon Blending Stencil.  This set has three layers for the moon and one circle mask.  I didn't ink the first layer, then added Lost Shadow Distress ink through the second stencil layer.  The third layer is Weathered Wood.  Then I held the circle mask over the moon and blended on just a bit of Antique Linen Distress ink around the circle.

Keeping that circle mask over the moon, I ink blended Chipped Sapphire Distress ink first being careful not to cover that Antique Linen too much.  Then I added some Black Soot just around the edges.

I removed the mask from the image and colored it with my Copic markers.  I kept a somewhat muted color pallet since this is a night scene.  I trimmed the panel to 4" x 5-¼" and glued it to an A2 card base.

I inked some Chipped Sapphire onto a scrap of white cardstock.  I used my heat tool to dry it thoroughly and then stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Has Arrived set in Versamark ink.  I added white embossing powder and heat set it.  After I trimmed it with my scissors, I popped it up on the card with foam tape.

I was thrilled to be Picket Fence's guest designer for this new release, and I hope you will check out all of the new goodies over in their shop.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!
