Happy September! Yay for fall! It’s been unbearably muggy and hot here where I live in Michigan so I can’t wait until the cooler weather is here, not only that but fall is my favorite time of year, I love it. With that thought in mind, the card I have for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge has a fall theme to it. Our colors for this week’s challenge are red, orange and blue and before I get to my card, I’d like to welcome this month’s talented CTD Guest Designer, Amy Kolling.
For my card, I used the new Hello Bluebird stamp set, Fall Friends. I second I saw the image of the sweet deer carrying a stack of books, I knew I had to have this set. I’m a book lover and I’m always reading, I feel lost without a book. The first thing I did to create my card, was to stamp all the images I knew I wanted to used for my card. After that I colored all the images using Copic markers in the colors for this week’s CTD challenge and then die cut them out using the coordinating Fall Friends dies. Next I used a piece of watercolor paper and blended on some tumbled glass and stormy sky distress ink. Then since I wanted to give my sky some movement, I used the dashed bee lines from the Bee Happy stamp set and stamped them in tumbled glass distress ink. Once that was done, I used the Gallery Frame #3 die and die cut a piece of white and pumpkin pie cardstock. Then I used a piece of red woodgrain Doodlebug Designs paper and die cut it using the Stitched Hillside Border die. I stamped my sentiment onto a die cut banner and tucked the end underneath my frame and then adhered everything down, popping up my deer image with foam tape.

I absolutely love this card! I want to jump right into this scene. I am really liking the Hello Bluebird sets right now (new-to-me company).
