Sneak Peek at the Nature's Harvest stamp set

 Hi Stampy friends! Today I have a series of cards with the Nature's Harvest stamp set.  This is a new set from the August-December mini catalog that starts on Aug. 3rd.   I really like the Coneflower stamp in the set.  I have them in my yard and I love to see the birds eat the seeds at the end of the summer.  They come in a variety of colors but the ones in my yard are closest to the Rich Razzleberry that I used here. 

I can't share catalog images here, but I will add them after the 3rd.

 

 

I made this card to fit a color challenge in my Facebook Group. You can join the group here:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/bethspapercuts  I try to have a color challenge each month, as well as other challenges from time to time.  This group is for sharing ideas with Stampin' Up! products. You can share what you are working on as well. 

I made a 'Simple to Super' progression of cards.   I wanted to make one without dies or lots of extras to show that you can make a very pretty card with just stamps, ink and paper.

To keep this first card simple I used only Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss ink pads and Watercolor pencils.  Watercolor Pencils are a great addition to your craft supplies because you can get a lot of colors for little expense.  They are fun for lots of techniques too.

For this next version I added the Harvest Dies and some ribbon. I also embossed the sentiment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On this final version I added even more dies to the background, and I colored the ribbon with Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends.   

I created the background with stamps from the set, using Fresh Freesia ink on Fresh Freesia paper. To make the ink lighter I first stamped off on a scrap paper before stamping onto the Fresh Freesia.  I inked up the flowers with Blackberry Bliss and then colored the flowers with Watercolor Pencils.
