Our October Featured Artist for the 2020-2021 Stampers Club is Elaine Williams. Elaine used all the supplies that I gave her which included Very Vanilla, Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze cardstock, Magic in This Night DSP, Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack – Terracotta Tile ribbon and Champagne Rhinestones Basic jewels. She used the Country Home stamp set to make this lovey fall themed card. Thanks Elaine for sharing your creativity!
I decided to use the Very Versaille stamp set after having received a card from my Secret Sister. I hadn't purchased the set until I received the card, but I'm so happy that I did due to the versatility of the stamps. Depending on the color ink and paper you use it can be used for any season. A great addition to your stamp collection for sure!

- Stamp background words with Cinnamon Cider ink on Very Vanilla panel as in sample below.
- Stamp leaves with Blackberry Bliss ink as in sample below.
- Stamp Happy Harvest Blessings on scrap of Very Vanilla with Blackberry Bliss ink. Die cut with the die from the Ornate Frames die. (TIP: I used the leftover piece of paper after cutting the Very Vanilla panel for the card front. This piece is smaller than the width of the die but that's okay as I only wanted the short ends to be cut. I then centered the stamped sentiment strip onto the scrap of Blackberry Bliss and cut them both at the same time.)
- Wrap the linen thread around the Very Vanilla panel twice and knot in front. Adhere the panel to the base card.
- Adhere the sentiment with Dimensionals.
- Add Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels where desired.
