Hey Friends!! Welcome, welcome!!
Pretty Pink Posh is having a product release blog hop, and they invited me to participate! They sent me a few of their new Fall goodies, and I've whipped up some cards to share with you, so let's dive right in to the projects, shall we?
I got a bit watercolor-y on this first one! I used the new Sunflowers stamp set to stamp some die cut sunflowers as well as their leaves on a separate panel of watercolor card stock, with a super light gray ink. I then did a bit of no line watercoloring on those, as well as on a strip of images along the bottom, from the new Fall Borders stamp set.
I added a sentiment from the new Fall Signs stamp set and over on the right side of the card base, I did a bit of stenciling with their Wafers stencil. To finish this one off, I added some jewels from their Harvest Mix collection, to accent the sentiment as well as the flower centers.

Next up, I used the new Fall Signs stamp set, to create the focal point here. I watercolored my pumpkins with some green at the bottom, to resemble the fun Cinderella pumpkins we got at the apple cider mill last Fall! I hope to find some again this year.....they're seriously the prettiest, and most interesting pumpkins ever!
I used their Autumn Leaves stencil, to create the leaf detail behind the die cut, masking off individual leaves and layering them over the top of each other, and positioning them just behind the cornucopia.
PRO TIP: This is a great way to get more mileage out of your stencils! They may be designed to create an all over pattern, such as this one is with it's all-over leaf design, however by masking the leaves off, I was able to create a completely different design and feel with this stencil, which gives you a lot more bang for your stamping buck! Instead of stenciling an all-over leaf pattern, I was able to create a focal point with a big impact!

One more for today.....I used that same Wafer Stencil from the first card, and used it very lightly on a piece of white card stock. Next, I layered lots of watercolored die cut sunflowers and leaves on top, and added a simple sentiment strip, to balance out the big explosion of sunflowers!
When the watercolor was dry, I had fun adding lots of their Harvest Mix jewels to the centers of the flowers.
PRO TIP: You can be intentional in your design choices even with something as simple as adding jewels to the centers of your flowers. By adding a different number of jewels to the flowers, or even by changing up the sizes of jewels on each one, you can make your blooms appear more unique and interesting. Note that some of my flowers have 1, 2 or 3 jewels, and I changed up the sizes of each combination.
All right, friends, that's it for me for today, but there's a blog hop going on, so hop around to each of the following blogs for lots more inspiration!!
