Layered Fall Birthday - Stampin' Up!® Gathering Moments

 My card today uses a new to me challenge.  I think I was scrolling looking for some scrapbooking layouts to get ideas and I came across the Sketch-n-Scrap challenge.  They share both card and scrapbooking layouts so it was great one stop inspiration.  There were lots of layers on this one so I was adding stuff left and right!

  I love the Gathering Together Specialty DSP so much that I think every fall card I make just might have at least a little piece on it!  After embossing a panel of Basic Beige with the Gathering Leaves embossing folder for the card front I added the strip of DSP to follow the sketch.

  Next is an Early Espresso square cut with the Perennial Postage dies.  The dark color set off the next few layers well.  I used the retired Tailor Made Tags dies to cut a piece of brushed brass cardstock and added a Cajun Craze hole enforcer, Basic Beige classic ribbon and Early Espresso Linen Thread for details.  The retired brushed brass paper was what I had on hand but any gold-ish foil paper would look great because of the great gold details on the DSP. For a current product check out the Earthen Toned Metallic paper or the Gold Foil.

  Instead of doing a circle I used a Traditional Labels die to create a spot to add my stamped leaves, berries and acorn from the Gathering Moments stamp set.

  Finally, I stamped a sentiment from the Simply Said set and popped it up on dimensionals.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
