Sneak Peek: Stamp TV Kit Signs of Autumn

Today we have Gina's latest StampTV kit: "Signs of Autumn". (I just love Fall and everything that goes with it, don't you?) Be sure to watch the video on STV today to see Gina sharing all the wonderful contents in this month's kit! ALL the cardstock in these sample is included, as well as Pure Luxury Pumpkin Spice, a color which will not be available for purchase until next month! ( and I know you're going to want it NOW.) :)
This first sample shows several of the images in the kit stamped in Vivid Coffee Bean and colored with Copics. I curled all the leaves with my fingers by bending them down the stem and them pulling the edges outwards, this gives them lots of dimension. I stamped the "Inspiration Mosaic" onto the Pumpkin Spice Cardstock in Versamark so I could just make out the lines, and then stamped my dashed line from the set over it, by aligning it first with the line on my acrylic block, and then lining that up over each of my stamped Versamark lines to get this "stitching"! It went easily and quickly, and look how straight they are! (I'll be sharing a tutorial with step by step pictures of this later) I love the homespun feel that gives, quilting without cutting! Some bold leaves from the set are randomly stamped onto the Pumpkin Spice to give it a little bit of a pattern like a printed fabric. The edges of the mats were distressed and the sentiment is stamped onto Green Apple and popped up.

On this second card, pumpkins and sunflowers are colored with Copics and popped up on the Chocolate Kiss background. It may be hard to see in the photo, but I stamped the Chocolate Kiss with "Inspiration Mosaic" with Versamark here too, this gives it just a subtle pattern that keeps it from looking "flat" as well as helping me in the placement of my elements(follows the Rule of Thirds), and ground my images so they don't look like they are "floating" on the open space. (The greeting from the set is placed over one of the frames, the pumpkins over an intersection, and the flowers over the other top box.) I did a little faux piercing with a brown marker on the sentiment card and added a copper brad and some ribbon, both from the kit, this striped one is my fave, so many beautiful colors to go with it!
