Hello Autumn...

Hello there!

I'm up on the Bellarific blog with an enchanting Scenic Saturday post featuring a mix of old and new stamps. The introduction of the lovely Oddball Autumn Fairy in the latest release provided me with the perfect opportunity to ink up the Pumpkin House Backdrop again and create a magical fall scene.

I love that Stamping Bella is adding to the seasonal Oddball Fairies and the two newest fairies do not disappoint. Being a fall girl myself, I'm rather partial to this Oddball Autumn Fairy, with her crown of leaves, nuts and berries and pumpkin wand, she completely encapsulates all the glory of the fall season. I chose to stamp her off center leaving plenty of room to stamp and mask the Pumpkin House Backdrop on the other side of the card behind her. Sure, some of the house is cut off at the card edge and a lot is also blocked by the fairy, but that's the beauty of the backdrop stamps... you don't have to see the entire image for it to create just the right amount of scenery. Next, it was time to color and I dove right into all of the beautiful hues of an autumn day. I even gave her ombre hair to mimic the changing of the leaves in the trees. The row of birch trees were sketched in by hand to help hide our Oddball Autumn Fairy from the world beyond. The sentiment is from the Autumn Sentiment set and in case you missed it, there is a 15% OFF Labor Day Sale happening now in the store through September 1st. While the new release and retired section are not included, it's a great time to add older stamps like the Pumpkin House Backdrop and Autumn Sentiment set to your cart.  :)

Stay crafty my friends!
