Graciellie Design Fall Fest Blog Hop

 
 


Welcome to day of our Fall Fest blog hop. This month Graciellie Design is celebrating with lots of giveaways, sales and inspiration! Each day you'll have the chance to win a digital stamp set of your choice from Graciellie Design Digital Shop following our blog hops. We've prepared a bunch of beautiful projects for your crafty inspiration so we invite you to join the fun.

If you haven't joined our blog hop for day 1 or day 2, make sure to visit Graciellie's Blog and start from there.

I chose to play with the beautiful Elegant Greetings Digital Stamp Set.  Isn't it gorgeous?  It's just perfect for all of my Cape Cod friends!




 
I wanted a Fall look for this card.  I printed my image and sentiment on to water color paper and then began 'painting' uses Distress Inks in; Antique Linen, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemon and Wild Honey.  I also used a bit of Pear Pizzazz ink for the stem.  I really love the Antique Vintage flavor and feel I achieved.  

 
I added a wee bit of very thin Brown ribbon.  The striped Designer Paper is Black and adds to the vintage vibe.  The focal panel was layered on Brown and Ivory card stock with a card base of Brown as well.  My corner die is by Cheery Lynn, Lace Corner Deco H which I cut from a Bronze Glitter Paper. 
 
I didn't want to add anymore accents as I really just wanted this beautiful bloom to shine all on it's own!  I hardly ever use digis', I don't know why....they really are amazing and you can resize and manipulate them like crazy making for many options!
 
In case you have missed any days in this Fabulous Fall Fest Blog Hop here's all the info you'll need!  So grab a beverage of your choice and sit back and enjoy the show!

  13. To borrow one of your expressions.... THUD. Ditto to what everyone else said. I know you love hydrangeas and this reminds me of the fall when they stay on the bush but change color. Just amazing.
