Newton’s Nook Designs | Fall Harvest Take Two

Hello! Today I am sharing two more cards created with the Newton’s Nook Designs Fall Harvest stamp set. I previously shared cards with this stamp and coordinating die set HERE. This time, I am using stenciled pumpkin backgrounds rather than patterned paper ones, applying ink through a stencil on to coordinating cardstock for a tone-on-tone background. You can read my post about creating stenciled backgrounds for cards HERE.

• To create the focal images, stamp the Fall Harvest images with Versafine on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper and heat set. Color the images with watercoloring mediums of choice. Once dry, cut the images with the dies in the coordinating set. (Check out my “Resources for Watercoloring Stamped Images” HERE.)
• To create the card backgrounds, apply ink through the Pumpkin Patch stencil. For the background with the dog, I used Dried Marigold ink on SU Pumpkin cardstock, and on the other background with the cat, I used Wild Honey ink on SU More Mustard cardstock. Trim panels to A2-size and attach to card bases. (Next time, I will cut the cardstock to A2 size before applying ink through the stencil. The stencil pattern is 5 1/2″ square.)
• Glimmer foil the sentiment in the Autumn Greetings set with Copper foil on white cardstock (I used Taylored Expressions Sugar Cube, as it is not stark white). Cut panel with a 2 3/4″ die in the Everlasting Circles set. Cut another circle from vellum with a 3″ die in the same set.
• Assemble the focal images, add the images to the circle mats, and adhere to the card fronts.
