Hey friends, how are you? I have an Autumn themed card to share with you today, inspired by this month’s challenge!
Now this one was not a quick card to make! But for the first time in ages I had a day to spend in my craft room, so I was able to pull out my card making supplies and just enjoy the creative process!
I used the Harvest Mouse stamp set from My Favorite Things, but you could create this with any fall / harvest type stamps you have in your stash. I laid out the stamps on my card base to work out how I wanted the scene to look, then stamped the images in the foreground first (the pumpkins), masked them off, then added the rest of the stamps before removing the masking.
I coloured the scene with my OLO markers (colours listed below) before deepening the shadows with a black prismacolour pencil, then adding white gel pen highlights.
Mice: 07.1, 07.3, 07.7
Red clothes: R1.9, R1.7
Mustard clothes: YO2.7, YO2.5, YO2.3
Blue jacket: B0.7, B0.5
Green jumper: Y8.7, Y8.6
Apples: OR2.5, OR2.6, YG1.2, YG1.4
Baskets: YO2.5, Y02.7, O7.7
Sky: B2.0, B0.2, YO2.0, YO2.2, YO2.3, YO2.5
Pumpkins: O2.2, O2.4, O2.5, O2.7
Grass: Y8.7, Y8.6, YG2.5
By the way, OLO are releasing 96 new colours this fall, and they have 10% off for a limited time if you pre-order. It works out at just over £2.70 per marker, which is insane value considering the price of the main competitor brand - and OLOs contain twice as much ink as a Copic marker. Needless to say, I’ve snapped mine up already :)

I stamped my sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then added my finished scene to a Cranberry cardstock base.
I hope you like this card and it inspires you to create something autumn themed for this month’s card making challenge. Please do share your projects with us, we love to be inspired by your card ideas, too!
