The Card Concept: Harvest Adventures

There’s a new inspiration challenge at The Card Concept and the theme is Harvest Adventures. My Clean and Layered card was inspired by the classic look of the photo, the pumpkins and the gorgeous fall colors.

I'm quite literal when it comes to inspiration sketches but I didn't have a pickup truck (even though there are some fabulous options out there right now - both stamps and dies!)  I actually thought it would be a great excuse to do some shopping but I kept thinking of this wagon. It's not a pickup truck but I think it has exactly the same look and style as the photo. 

I stamped and colored it and then I re-stamped it with Versamark to copper emboss it.  Here's a better picture with the copper.

I was definitely inspired by the colors both in the wagon and in the brushed background. Using a stencil, I brushed on some gray at the base for the road, then some oranges, yellows and even a little green for the trees in the background.

I hope to see you playing along with us at The Card Concept.

  4. Kim, I had one of those giant Radio Flyer wagons when I was a little - your choice to use a wagon brought loads of memories back to me today! I think it is perfect, and perfectly wonder-Fall!
