Good Monday morning. Hope your weekend was great. I can't say mine was but that is a long story and you don't want to hear it.
I'm here with a card for the CAS286 challenge on Splitcoaststampers. The challenge is to use a stencil. I used a burlap stencil but I want it to look like a brick wall behind my scene. I inked it in red and brown inks. Hmmmmmmmm....I guess the jury is out on whether it looks like a brick wall. :-)
My tree is really a branch from A Muse Artstamps. The pumpkins are a border punch but I cut the pumpkins out and made a couple of them smaller by cutting with my scissors.
I'm not really ready for summer to go away but kind of getting in the mood for making a few Fall season cards.
Recipe:
Stamps-A Muse Artstamps/branch, Inkadinkado/pumpkin patch mini
Paper-PTI white cardstock, green and orange scrap cardstock
Ink-Memento Rich Cocoa, Tim Holtz Distress Ink/barn door
Accessories-Copics, brown and white gingham ribbon, Tim Holtz layering stencil/burlap, EK Tools large edger punch/pumpkin patch, Martha Stewart grass edge punch, handmade banner

Yep, I can see where you were going for a brick wall look! I love all the great elements on this card, and your fussy cutting worked like a charm! That's a great use of a stencil too! Here's wishing you a much better week ahead than the not-so-good weekend you had :)
Love the way red, brown and green have come together on your project Brenda-- its a beauty

Love your card - I really like the burlap stencil - you did a great job as always thanks for sharing!!!
Just like Carol said, I can see the brick wall too. Very nice...beautifully done. Hope things start to go better!
I love your stenciling and it does resemble a brick wall! Love that brown gingham ribbon too! Sorry you didn't have the best weekend. Hope this week goes much better! Hugs.
Yes it DOES look like a brick wall behind the tree & those cute little punkins. Very clever of you to employ the stencil in that fashion...well done with seeing the burlap could be brick too! I LIKE this one - good for you at getting a jump start on autumn. Exactly what I need to be doing. Happy Monday & TFS.
Fabulous CAS card love the stencil and hope your week gets better

The Journey is the Start
Fall means football so you should be looking forward to that - Roll Tide!
I think it does look like a brick wall - maybe a little lopsided like I laid the bricks or the wall is older. Cool stencil regardless and a fun Fall card.
Hugz!
A great card and perfect Autumn colours.
I can say it's been rather chilly here in London today. I don't like the cold weather, although it's perfect for crafting x

Marvelous work on the pumpkins, Benzi. Very creative to get what you wanted! Love the branch as a tree. That really works. :-D
Your little pumpkin patch is adorable!! Love the cut out pumpkins like that and makes me so ready for some fall type weather to hit.
Nice to be back but don't know if I'll ever catch up on everything.

OMGosh, how simply perfect, fun, and so pretty too! How creative, Brenda!! I really like what you did with the sentiment and bow for your patch too!

Sorry you had a crappy weekend last week, hope this one's better!
Love the burlap and stenciling and cute pumpkins! Sorry to hear your weekend hasn't been the best! Hope things improve very soon for you....huggggs!:-)
This is cute! I see burlap when I look at the stenciled area, but when you mention brick, I can see that too. :)
