CCM Saturday Blog Hop - Casing Debbie Henderson

Today's Featured Designer CASE is Debbie Henderson! This is Debbie's gorgeous card that I CASEd.

I'm starting to feel a tiny bit of Autumn in the air these days ... just beginning to see the signs, like the Goldenrod is starting to bloom and the leaves on the trees are getting more of an Old Olive cast to them. Here is my take on Debbie's card - I reversed the angle (due to the die) and used a Tailored Tag behind the image instead of the scalloped rectangle she used.

I hadn't played with the Fond of Autumn bundle yet, so this presented the perfect opportunity! I still used the colors Debbie used because they are perfect for a Fall-themed card. After stamping the image in Early Espresso, I used Watercolor Pencils to add the color. I haven't played with them in a long time and forgot how much fun they are!

Were you aware that the Autumn Bouquet Dies can cut out the entire image, or cut the image elements apart? I wasn't at first, but as soon as I saw the versatility of the dies, I had to order the bundle! Here is what I mean. The oak leaves and acorns were used on the card, which leaves me other lovely elements to color and use on a different card!

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori at Loritamarie Crafts.
