Color Fusers--October!

/

HI friends and Happy Fall Y’all! It is officially here and so beautiful. I love everything about it, and in the words of Anne of Green Gables, “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers”.

This month the Team is crafting with three amazing colors—Wild Wheat, Pecan Pie and Cajun Craze.

This color combination definitely feels like fall for me and I was thinking about the beautiful trees in our river valley and Banff, all the gorgeous places nearby me. The Forever Forest Bundle felt like a perfect pairing with this months color combo.

I started with a base of Wild Wheat and added a first layer with a bit of speckle stamping from the stamp set. I then die cut half of a Decked Circle Die (can you believe there are 14 dies in this set!!) and I ran this through one of the 3D Basics Embossing Folders.

HOT TIP: Have you been shopping the Online Exclusives? There are tons of amazing things over there including these MUST HAVE embossing folders!

You can see the amazing detail in the die, as it has that torn edge, and the embossing folder.

My trio of trees is created using Blending Brushes and the 3 feature colors—Wild Wheat, Pecan Pie and Cajun Craze. I layered the colors on with my brushes to give the illusion of trees changing colors. I think they turned our really well.

I die cut two other trees from the die set in Cajun Craze and Pecan Pie and did a little blending with my brushes around the edges of the trees for some dimension.

I nestled them all together to feel like a forest and added the sentiment “For a Fabulous Friend” over top. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set. A bit of torn Pecan Pie card stock layered underneath felt like it tied in the torn look of the Deckled Circle.

Next up our awesome team hop is the amazing Sue Vine! I know you will love what she has created!
