AUTUMN for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop

Many of my Stampin’ Up! team members (not only those with blogs) share their gorgeous projects in our team’s Facebook community – there’s such amazing and inspiring creativity in this group! I’m always excited when my team’s blog hop rolls around, though, because I get to share some of their amazing work with you. I’m just as excited to see their projects as you are, and I am proud to share them with you.

AUTUMN InKing Royalty Blog HopWelcome to InKing Royalty’s September Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around AUTUMN. There is so much to love about the transition from summer to winter, and we are excited to share our Autumn-themed projects with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

Gather Together this Autumn

Autumn starts next week – it’s still in the high 90’s in Atlanta, so we aren’t getting a preview of Autumn. I’ll be so happy when it arrives – it’s my favorite time of year. The leaves are gorgeous right before they fall, and the air is crisp and cool. Ahhh! Autumn. My card for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop features the Gather Together Bundle – beautiful leaves and a sweet sentiment. Here’s my card:

  • Gather Together. All of the stamped images on my card today are from the Gather Together Bundle, part of the Come to Gather Suite in Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Holiday Catalog. I love the leaves, pumpkins and sentiments in this set – many can be used at all times of the year.

  • Ombré with Overstamping. In July, I shared the projects I created for Louise Sharp’s Stamping by the Sea retreat in Australia. One of those projects featured a technique I call “overstamping” – stamping an image over and over until it creates an abstract background on the project. You can see my “overstamping” post here. I revived the same technique on today’s card with one small twist – I built an ombré by stamping this leaf over and over on the Very Vanilla panel. Gather Together Bundle, Thanksgiving Card, Stampin' Up!, Brian KingOn top of the Terracotta Tile leaf pattern, I created a collage of a leaf (stamped on a page from Woven Threads Designer Series Paper, a sentiment cropped with the Tailored Tag Punch and two snips of Terracotta Tile 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon for added texture.
  • Autumn Colors. I’m so in love with Terracotta Tile – it’s a softer version of Cajun Craze but not as orange as Pumpkin Pie. Regardless of where it falls in the color spectrum, it’s perfect for Fall. I pulled a background panel of Terracotta Tile paper from Woven Threads Designer Series Paper that I also used for the leaf on the front of the card.

  1. I love the overstamping technique that you showed before, but especially in the ombré. And I don’t think I’ve seen you use ribbon very often, but it is the perfect touch here. Gorgeous card
