The Greetery Gathered Blessings Release Day

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower~ Albert Camus

Happy release day, friends! It's the most wonderful day of the month! All of the fabulous products from the Gathered Blessings release from The Greetery go on sale today at 10 AM EST! I've used a few of my favorites on this card to share with you today! Since the release isn't actually "live", I don't have links to share with you for each new product, but you can find everything HERE once it goes live!  I want to thank each of you for your sweet comments you've left for me the past two days! I enjoy reading which products you're especially loving!

For my release projects, I went for a very traditional autumn look, but after seeing some of Betsy's fabulous color combinations, I wanted to try a few of my own autumn favorites!  This card uses the new Mimosa Musings, but this time stamped in Picked Rapberry Distress Oxide ink for another fun look. I actually googled Mimosa trees before I made my sample yesterday. I noticed that there is both yellow and pink, so I thought I'd better give the pink a try! That being said, the sky is the limit with colors you can use....that's what's so great about stamping!

The Mighty Oak and Toadstool Garden BotaniCuts play so nicely together! They're a match made in heaven! I chose to keep the toadstools and leaves cohesive in colors to pull everything together! Of course the coarse crystal glitter makes them look even more amazing! I love that the lighter portion on the center of the pink leaves makes them almost look like sparkles!

I also wanted to branch out with the shiplap background. Betsy did some amazing things that inspired me to get a little bit more creative with mine. I decided to start off with Soft Stone cardstock from PTI and then added the Weathered Wood Distress Oxide ink around the edges. It took 3 passes of the die cut machine to get enough planks for this background since they are placed on the diagonal. I was able to use the extra pieces that I trimmed from the edges to fill in the gaps on the sides.

The sentiments are both from the new Blessed Blooms that will be released today as well. These are so beautiful and I just love the font! I chose to use Soft Stone cardstock for these as well so they wouldn't be too stark.

This card was a joy to create and I loved inking these BotaniCuts up in some beautiful autumn colors! Now that school has started, I guess fall can come! LOL! How about you? Are you ready for fall? 

Thanks for fluttering by!
