Penny Black - Autumn Decor


Hi everyone.  Today I'm playing with a new set from Penny Black called Autumn Decor (51-653).  It's a mix of dies that you can use separately or together.  Very versatile.
I started with a piece of background I had in my stash (smooshed pink and orange liquid watercolours).  I die-cut my sunflower blooms, sponged the edges with Rusty Hinge distress ink and then added the center piece which was watercoloured with Ground Espresso.  The flowers are two layers each, which are off-set and glued together in the center only.  To finish the blooms I just used my fingers to lightly bend the back layer petals to the back and the top layer petals to the front.  This created a lot of dimension.

The jar vase was cut from another piece in my stash of paper towel background done in shades of yellow.  I love how the quilted design from the paper towel looks on the jar.  The stems and leaves were watercoloured in Peeled Paint distress ink.

The sentiment (Gratitude 30-105) was stamped in a mix of Rusty Hinge and Ripe Persimmon inks.  Happy how it looks with the colours of the sunflowers.  Then I adhered the flowers and vase to my card front, popping them up for added dimension.

    Darn, I went and cleaned off a palette block and totally forgot about the paper towel background idea. Been meaning to try that 'cause you always make it look so amazing. I love the vase, but also the beautiful color of your flowers. Altogether a super cute and pretty card!

    So beautiful Loll and love the way you always have lots of pieces of smooshed card with different colours and textures in your stash, and the red flowers within the gold textured vase are just wonderful together. I love the red sentiment as a finishing touch too. x

    Loll what a great technique. I watched your video - something so easy but creates such a pretty background. Will have to remember this one.
    Thanks again.

    This is so cheerful Loll, and I love the texture on that little vase! It appears that maybe you slit the vase to fit the flower in it which looks great! Love the brilliant colors of your flowers too.

    OMG..Love your Fall colors and all the dimension in your pretty die cut sunflower petals, Lolly. Your paper towel with wiped up inks makes awesome texture for your die cut vase. Wonderful font on the sentiment too. The perfect Fall CAS card design, my friend. TFS the links to the PB products...I am off to check them out. Love and Hugs..Nancy
