SSCB#47 Backgrounds - Autumn Wonderful World

Hi and thanks for stopping by!  I hope you are having a beautiful day!  Fall is in the air!  I picked quite a few small pumpkins from in front of the house this week.  Yes you read that right.  I planted the seeds in the back, but my little helpers (trying to be kind here) must have dug them up and replanted them in front of the house.  When I saw them growing in between the Blue Spruce Pines in the front I decided to just leave them there.  I'm learning to embrace the things I can't change! LOL!  I wonder what the neighbors thought!  

We're in the second half of our Backgrounds Challenge at Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog!  You have two more weeks to play and we hope you will join us.  All you need to do is create a project with some background stamping - and be sure to use at least one Serendipity Stamps Image - stamp or die.   You could win a $20 gift certificate! 
I created this effect with a mask.  You can use special masking paper, but I used a piece of scrap paper with a die cut circle large enough for the sentiment.  Next I held it in place on my card stock and blended  Tumbled Glass distress ink into the open window.   Next I cut the same size circle from a piece of post it paper that has adhesive across the entire square.  I struck the circle over my distressed circle and stamped the leaves randomly.  I removed the circle post it mask and stamped the image inside.

 I like a little extra dimension so I attached this stamped panel with some sticky adhesive foam sheet.  
Need a little more inspiration? Check out designs from our Design team and Special Guest Diane Jaquay from It's All About The Art Blog! You'll think stamping backgrounds is a snap with these ladies!


Have a BEAUTIFUL day and I hope I see you at Serendipity Stamps Challenge blog!

    Gorgeous! I need to work with masking more often, because the effects, as you've made abundantly evident here, are stunning! I have some leaf stamps waiting patiently to be inked, so with your autumn delight as incentive, ideas are already sparking. Pumpkins...oh, to have a garden! Some day...
