Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Fall Color Challenge - Brown and Orange

Happy Tuesday Crafters,

Summer is over and Fall is here so there's no better time to break out those Brown and Orange papers, embellishments, ribbons, etc and make a project for the brand new Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Fall Color Challenge - Brown and Orange. 

I had an extreme difficult time just using brown and orange.  I cheated just a wee bit by using some yellow ink on my sunset background but I stopped there.  I really wanted to make some burgundy leaves but restrained myself.  Sentiment is from the Scrappy Mom's Stamps "The Charmed Life"  stamp set. The orange and brown of the hot air balloon, the dark brown leaves, acorn pieces and eye pieces are cut from paper pieces in my overflowing scrap drawers (almost each color has it's own drawer :) ).  

Here is my project: 

Card Recipe:

• "Happy Fall Y'all" sentiment from the Scrappy Mom's Stamps "The Charmed Life" stamp set. 
• Squirrel and leaves from Treasure Box Designs "Falling into Fall" file.
• I enlarged one of the leaves to stamp the sentiment on. 
• Inked all the pieces with Stampin' Up Dust Durango.
• Crushed all the leaves to make them look old and crinkly.  It also gave them some dimension.
• Card base is odd shaped.  I made it at 8-3/4" High by 4-1/4" to accommodate the Squirrel in the acorn hot air balloon.
• The back ground was cut 1/4" smaller than the card base and then inked using the following inks:
• Stamps of Life - Banana
• CTMH - Sunset & Honey
• Stampin' Up - Dusty Durango & Tango Twist
• Craft Smart - Orange

Hope you join us in this challenge.
