Grassy Grove, Splendid Autumn, Masculine Fall Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fall card to share with you. When I started out making this card all I knew was that I wanted to use the "Grassy Grove" bundle.  Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold was on the top.

A 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock was cut for the layer.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Mossy Meadow card stock was cut using the forest die from the "Grassy Grove" bundle. A piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Splendid Autumn" stack was cut just a hair shorter than 4" x 5-1/4" so no edges would show behind the die cut forest. I glued the die cut tree piece to the DSP. Now don't do that yet, unless you are going to keep yours one color. I carefully colored on mine so I didn't get any marker on the DSP.  If I were to make another one I would color the card stock first. I used the dark Pecan Pie Blends pen to color the trunks and branches of the trees. On the grassy part I used my dark Mossy Meadow Blends pen. On the leaves of the trees I thumped on some dark Mossy Meadow, dark Pumpkin Pie and light Cherry Cobbler Blends pens. Now you are safe to glue the die cut tree piece to the DSP. 

Then those two layers were taped to the Pumpkin Pie piece and that was taped to the card base.

A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock was taped to the inside of the card and the card was done.

I didn't use any wording for the front, I wasn't sure what I was going to use it for.

This was a fun card to make and I leaned a lesson while making it. It's all about living and learning, isn't it?

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's card,
