Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - Sept. 2018

Hello friends.  Feels like forever since the last Papertrey Ink Blog Hop, (last month the 25th fell on their Stamp-A-Faire weekend, so they didn't have the blog hop) so I'm thrilled it's the 25th and can play along!  We had a beautiful Fall table setting as inspiration for this hop...take a look!


Isn't is GORGEOUS?!!  Loved everything about this photo, but in the end I went with a real CAS style (which seems to be my favorite style lately!) and just incorporated some of the color, the pumpkins, and the leaves.  Here's what I came up with:


My first thought was to stamp a plaid background because I just love the colors in the tablecloth, but it didn't really go with my vision of CAS!  So anyway, I used an Aliexpress die to do a white on white plaid for my background, and then added the pumpkins from Simply Gord-eous and the leaves from Leaf Prints.


I stamped both on kraft cardstock and had fun doing a bit of blending around the edges and also adding some aged copper embossing enamel to the leaves.  A little banner tag from Stemmed Statements with a piece of rustic twine and a few rainstones finished off my card.

It's always fun to see how everyone else interprets the inspiration photos, so I'm off to hop around!  You can too by clicking right HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

    Your card emulates fall beautifully Marcia! I love the white on white plaid background. It really makes those gorgeous fall leaves and gourds pop. The chunky emossing on the leaves is wonderful!!

    Perfect background & beautiful card! I intended to use some plaid, but just didn't work. Maybe my next card as this month's inspiration deserves another card!

    Beautiful card Marcia!! LOVE the you used your plaid die-cut with white-on white. It shows so much dimension and texture, but lets the leaves and pumpkin's colours pop! The copper fantage on the leaves adds a special details. Great card using the inspiration photo! xx
