Autumn Elements - Stampin' Up!® Gathering Moments

    Sometimes when a stamp set is part of a suite that includes Designer Series Paper I can get tunnel vision and just keep using the colors in the DSP.  For today's card I purposely pulled out colors to use that aren't part of the Gathering Together DSP when I wanted to use the Gathering Moments stamp set.  

  My layout is inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  I was a bit stumped when all the supplies I contemplated just didn't quite work with the 3 small skinny elements of the sketch.  Finally my eyes landed on the new Traditional Label dies that are coming out in just a few days and things began to take shape!

  I started with a Crumb Cake card base then embossed another panel of Crumb Cake with the Gathering Leaves embossing folder.  Using the pointed label die I cut 3 out of Basic White paper and lined them up across the lower part of the card.

  I stamped my 3 images from the Gathering Moments stamp set with my colors; Cherry Cobbler, Pretty Peacock and Timid Tiger and then die cut them.  They are popped on dimensionals on the labels.  I put the acorn up a bit higher so I would have room for my sentiment.

  I stamped the 2 parts of the sentiment from the Choose Happy set in Early Espresso and trimmed them down to fit across the label.  The final touch is a linen thread bow on the stem of the acorn.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
