Autumn Fall Wreath for The Paper Players

by Joanne James14. September 2014 08:00

Today I'm sharing my Design Team card for The Paper Players, where this week Anne Marie has chosen this beautiful Autumnal colour palette for us to work with:

I also used the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches this week for my layout. As soon as I saw this week's colours, I knew it was time to make an Autumn wreath card using my 'Wondrous Wreath' stamp set, as I've been wanting to do one of these for ages. Here's my card:

I used Baked Brown Sugar and Cajun Craze for the leaves on my wreath and stamped the berries in Blackberry Bliss. I cut it out using my Big Shot and the co-ordinating framelits and looped some linen thread behind it before adhering it with dimensionals to my Hardwood background, stamped in Always Artichoke (this panel reminds my of a mossy whitewashed shed!). I finished my wreath with a bow in the gorgeous Blackberry Bliss satin ribbon and a sentiment panel stamped with a simple 'thanks' and decorated with a few leaves from my 'Gratitude For Days' stamp set and a couple of candy dots. I love the rustic feel of this card - so fitting for this time of year.

Do pop by the challenge blog and see how the other Paper Players designers have used this week's colour combination - there are some fabulous cards from this talented bunch of designers.

I'm still playing catch up so am looking forward to a reasonably restful day today before the onslaught of another new and action-packed week. Back tomorrow with another project; until then, happy stampin'!

I think I love this set een more for fall wreaths than for winter ones!! Love your use of the colors on the wreath and that big beautiful bow is perfect...great job!

I'm inclined to agree Nance - I've seen so many wreaths in fall colours and they look just beautiful.

Love all the fall wreaths I've been seeing with this set, and this is no exception! I love the Hardwood background, but those little leaves you've stamped add a little sweet surprise!

Thanks LeAnne - I've been wanting to make a fall wreath with this set and these colours were perfect. As for the leaves - I bought Gratitude For Days as something of an afterthought, yet it is my most used stamp set so far this catalogue - go figure?!

I like the loops of twine...fresh and fun idea for the wreath!

Thanks Laurie - I wanted to make it look a little rustic, so thought the twine would help!

Thanks Cindy! Not as 'clean' as I would have liked for FMS, but the sketch was too good to pass up!

Love that you used the green for the background and not the wreath! Beautifully done, I must say!

Thanks Mike - ringing the changes, I guess!

Your autumn colored wreath is lovely! When I first saw this set using it for fall never even crossed my mind. The more I see it used for fall, the more I want to add it to my collection. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration.

Thanks Andrea - I think this set is more versatile than even I first thought and the co-ordinating framelits are a definite bonus!

Thank you Claire - I'm not a big fan of Always Artichoke and don't use it often, but I like the look of it here with the other colours.
