For the third day, the design team is showcasing the Harvest Tails stamp set and Harvest Tails Coordinating dies. This stamp set is one of my TOP 5 favorite stamp sets of all time! Just look at all the adorable images on this set? My favorite is the deer and the squirrel! Ahhh! Can it get any cuter? I don’t know how Jennifer keeps coming up with AMAZING designs! It’s like Christmas for the design team, every month!
I know this sounds redundant but I stamped the images again using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored them in with Copic markers. I die cut the images using the coordinating dies.
I inked up my background using Tumbled Glass and Tattered Rose distress oxide inks! I wanted to create a soft-colored background to make my images pop! I splattered some Vintage photo onto my colored background and blotted it dry with my paper towel. I die-cut the rest of the elements to create my scene.
To create a little bit of contrast to the white pumpkins and soft colored background, I added an orange pumpkin and also adorned the birch trees with orange leaves from the Autumn Newton stamp set. I finished my design by stamping the sentiment using Memento Rich Cocoa Ink. Here’s a little close-up:
Don’t you just love that adorable squirrel holding a pile of acorns? The deer image is sooo cute with the white pumpkins! This stamp set is so versatile, you can also use it for Christmas by masking the pumpkins and replace it with some presents. The possibilities are endless with this stamp set. Here’s another look:
For my second project, I wanted to create a tag that will go with a gift that I am sending to a friend of mine. I used the Fancy Edges Tag die set and the bow is from the Pines & Holly die set.
I colored the tag with some spiced marmalade distress oxide inks and stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx black ink.

I LOVE your background… how do you do the “SPLATTER”? Is it just water on a brush and the ink color? Gorgeous cards!

Thank you. I smooshed the vintage photo ink pad onto an acrylic block, added a few drops of water and used my watercolor brush to make it wet and flicked it onto my card. If I get huge droplets, I immediately dab it with some dry paper towel.
