The Nature's Harvest stamp set blooms with both beautiful flowers, and sentiments you will cherish. The coordinating Harvest Die set includes dies that match the stamped images, plus additional coordinating images and labels. The combination provides detail and variety for both your stamped images and greetings.
The tutorial below takes colouring to a whole new level with Stampin' Blends used for colouring stamped images, die cuts, and ribbon! I think you will love this combination of techniques that you can use again and again.

Harvest Meadow Autumn Card

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Cut Shaded Spruce cardstock to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". Score at 4-1/4" along the 8-1/2" side. Cut Basic White cardstock to 3-3/4" x 5" and adhere inside card for a writing space.

2) Cut Shaded Spruce diagonal check patterned paper to 3-3/4" x 5". Wrap twice with Baker's Twine and tie in a bow near the right edge. Adhere to card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

3) Stamp greeting and flower image on scrap Basic White cardstock with Soft Suede ink. Die cut with coordinating label and flower dies images from the Harvest dies.

4) Colour the die cut flower with the Mellow Moss, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze Stampin' Blends.

5) Die cut wheat/flower and branch images from scrap Basic White cardstock.

6) Colour the stem of wheat/flower image with the Mellow Moss Stampin' Blends and the flower part with the Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends. Colour the branch die cut with Soft Suede Stampin' Blends.

7) Colour a 4" piece of the Pale Papaya & White ribbon with the brush tip of the Dark Pumpkin Pie Marker. This will cover the Pale Papaya and create a Pumpkin Pie ribbon. Allow to dry just a few moments.

8) Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Mini Glue Dots to adhere die cut images to card front. Layer ribbon over the top with Glue Dots.

9) Adhere greeting over ribbon with Mini Glue Dots or Stampin' Dimensionals.

TIPS: Create custom ribbon with Stampin' Blends. Start with a white ribbon or a light colour ribbon similar in tone to your chosen colour. Colour the ribbon using the brush tip of a Stampin' Blends marker. You can create a solid colour, ombre, or rainbow effect. Because Stampin' Blends are alcohol-based the coloured ribbon dries quickly and is ready to use without a long drying time.
