Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios - Fall Fun!

Happy first day of Fall! We're heading into my favorite time of year where it's cooler at night. It still pretty warm (hot) here in the Sacramento area during the day, but that will soon change. The majority of the trees here don't change colors until late October and early November. Sacramento used to be known as The City of Trees until 2017, when it was changed to America's Farm-to-Fork Capital, so we have our own beautiful changing of the color displays here on the West Coast. No need to go to Vermont or Maine to see colorful fall foliage! 

Just like this little boy in Rachelle Anne Miller's digital stamp, Fall Fun, I love raking leaves. When I was a kid, my siblings and I would compete to see who could make the biggest leaf pile. I think this was a way my parents ensured the leaves were raked!

Today, I am sharing a clean and simple (CAS) card following the theme of this month's challenge of "using pattern paper." Head on over the the Rachelle Anne Miller Digital Stamps Facebook Group for all the details. You can win some awesome stamps! 

How to make this card:

Supplies:

• Rachelle Anne Miller Digital Stamp, Fall Fun
• Cardstock
• Pattern Paper
• Coloring medium (I used Copic markers, colors listed below)
• White gel pen
• Pumpkin die cuts (optional)
• Enamel dots (optional)
• Basic card making kit: Paper trimmer, scissors, adhesive, foam dots/squares/strips/roll, printer to print your digital stamp.

Copic markers used:

• Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000
• Cheeks: R20
• Hair: E13, E11, E53, E50
• Orange: R22, R12, R00
• Green: YG45, G21, G40
• Yellow: Y38, Y32, Y11

• White: C3, C1, Blender

• Brown (hedgehog): E41, E41, E35, E31

Instructions:

1. Print the digital stamp on white cardstock (if water-coloring, use watercolor paper). Resize the image to the size of card you are making. My card is A6 size, so I made sure the front panel is 5" x 3.75". Make sure to leave enough space if you plan on using a die to cut out the panel.
2. Color the digital stamp. Add a few white dots with a gel pen for accents. 
3. Cut the pattern paper.
4. Cut a piece of white cardstock to mat behind your front panel to add dimension.
5. Optional items/Embellishments: Add a couple of pumpkins and enamel dots to your card. You can also add, leaves, glitter, sequins, or whatever you like!
