The Stamp Review Crew: Painted Harvest Edition
For today’s card, I wanted to depart from the traditional fall colors that are usually associated with the Painted Harvest set. While I wanted to create a monochromatic card in shades of gray, that was just a little TOO gray for me. I added a touch of Soft Sky to break it up a little. I used a sentiment from the Layering Love set, instead from the set we are featuring. I have a specific purpose for creating this card, and this sentiment was perfect. You’ll learn where this card is heading in about 4 more weeks. (Wink!Wink!)
Colors of the Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This card measures 4-1/4″ wide x 5-1/2″ tall when folded.
Don’t ask me why I was so infatuated with gray this week! We have Basic gray leaves…
a Smoky Slate bow…
and I even created my own silvery gray metallic trim.
How you ask? I just coated 1/4″ Copper Trim with VersaMark ink, and heat embossed it with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder.
Of course, the Painted Harvest set comes with its own sentiments, but I needed one that expressed a different thought. I reached for the Layering Love set to come up with this one, which I accented with a little Powder Pink heart.
Isn’t it amazing how the choice of colors and different sentiment gives this set an entirely different vibe? I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Won’t you let me know in your comment? Of course, if you ever have a question about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Now hop along to Stop #21, Kelly Kent, to see what she has in store for you!

Wow! You always blow me away with your projects and this card is no exception. Love the monochromatic look.
Wow Ann! Truly a work of art. The more I look at this, the more I see. The way you coloured the copper trim to fit in with your grey theme this week – genius!

Amazing combination of neutrals and elements for fall. Love the touch of soft pink and gingham ribbon.
Stunning, Anne! Love the tip for heat embossing the copper trim—genius! Hope you were successful at the dog show this weekend!
Genius way to color the copper trim!!
Hi Ann! Another beautiful creation 🙂 So many beautiful layers and details including the slight bit of color on the flowers and dots. And how cool with the altered trim – I would have never thought to do that. Thanks as always for sharing your wonderful creativity!
I just came from Jeanie Stark’s blog and I sort of let go of some feelings about life. So, I am a bit teary still but love your card and it sort of fit what was going on. Love the card for the colors and the pop of pink was perfect. Thanks for sharing it.
