and here is my inspirational card...

I used Die-Namites' Pear Tree Die

Other Supplies used

Cut'n'boss (Craftwell)

Xyron Creative Station with 9" Permanent Adhesive

eBrush (Craftwell)

Thankful Stamp Set (Pink and Main)

Cardstock ( Bazzill Basics)

Patterned Paper (My Mind's Eye)

VersaFine Onyx Black (Tsukineko)

Martha Stewart Deluxe Trimmer

Martha Stewart Scoring Board

Sharpies- orange, green, brown, red

PITT Artist Pen XS (Faber-Castell)

Hemp Twine

Diamond Glaze (Judikins)

Blue Painter's Tape

2Way Glue Pen (EK Success)

 I started off by cutting a 4.5"x11" piece of cardstock and scoring it at the 5.5" and folding it in half creating an A2 sized card base.  I also cut a 4"x5.25" piece of cardstock and a 3.75"x5" piece of patterned paper to use as mats and ran them through my Xyron Creative Station.

I pieced together my card and mats. Then taped off the edges using painters tape. I airbrushed a circle of orange and yellow to the center of my card using my ebrush machine with orange and yellow Sharpies. 

I used my Die-Namites Pear Tree and cut 4 trees from cardstock and glued them together using a glue pen.

Then I ebrushed my tree using brown, green, orange, and red Sharpies. I added details using a PITT Arist Pen and Diamond Glaze on the pears and bird. I used Diamond Glaze to adhere my tree onto my card. 

Then stamped my sentiment under the tree using a Versafine Onyx Black ink pad. I used Pink and Main's "Thankful" stamp set for the "Autumn Blessings sentiment.

Here is my finished card:

I stayed with the warm autumn colors that reminded me a lot of a sunset... I love golden sunsets!! And, I love how this card turned out. It was a simple, yet elegant. A card that I could easily replicate multiples of. 

 This is such a gorgeous die and I didn't want to spoil it by adding too much fluff and frill, so I kept it simple.  I just added warm bold colors and a bit of hemp twine bow to give it an organic feel.

Happy Fall Y'all!!

Hope you enjoyed my inspirational project!
