Fall Themed Background Using the We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill

Hello! We have a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs Challenge Blog. The challenge theme is Autumn (Fall) Colours. Very timely, right! After having a hot October start, we are finally starting to have cool temperatures here in St. Louis. It is about time, I should say. I am using an image from one of our sponsors, Elsa image no. 184. I printed the image on kraft cardstock and colored the image using Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils. I added hightlights to the eyes and whiskers using gel pens. I fussy cut the image, leaving a small border around it. I ended up adhering this image on white cardstock, then fussy cutting it leaving a thin white border around the image to make the image pop out against the busy background.

For the background, I used the Cricut Design Space to edit the leaf images called Fall Leaves. This is a print, score and cut image. I edited it to draw so I can use the We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill. I cut the foil to the size I need. I taped this over the area of the cardstock where I want the leaves to be drawn.

Removing the foil off the cardstock is like removing a mask after ink blending. The reveal of the outcome is amazing!

Working on the sentiment, I adhered a double sided adhesive tape over a yellow cardstock. I die cut the Lawn Fawn Scripty Thanks on this but with the adhesive part on top. I removed the release paper and poured Inkadinkado Yellow Flocking Powder. I covered this with a parchment paper so I can burnish the flocking powder to the adhesive. The word sending is from Lawn Fawn Love Letters stamp set. I stamped it using a Altenew Paper Bag dye ink and stamped it on a yellow cardstock strip. 

 To create a scene for the fox, I stamped the tree stump on white colored cardstock using a brown dye ink. I fussy cut this stamped image and colored the the top area with a Copic marker. This tree stump is from LF Mom + Me stamp set. I die cut an orange felt heart using the heart die from LF Happy Mail die set. I adhered this to the center of the tree stump.

I trimmed the foiled panel making it into a 5 1/4" x 4" panel. I adhered this to a 5 1/4" x 4 1/4" kraft cardstock. I then adhered the images and the sentiments. I ahdered this to a top folding wide A2 white notecard.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you join us in today's Incy Wincy Challenge. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
