Around the World on Wednesday – September 2021
Welcome to September’s Around the World on Wednesday (AWOW) Blog Hop! Our theme this month is “Changing Seasons”. What’s great about this theme is that, because we have team members from around the world, changing seasons will look different for many. It will be fun to see what everyone comes up with!
In Alaska, summer is fading. We are heading into Autumn and flowers are starting to seed. I live in Southeast Alaska where the trees are predominately evergreens and stay green year round. We do, however, have some deciduous trees and still get to enjoy some beautiful colors of Autumn. The Blackberry Beauty Suite makes me think of this time of year. I pulled it out of my stash recently and came up with a few new cards.
My Card this month is super quick and easy. It features the Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set, the Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP), and the Layering Circles Dies. I chose to focus on one color from the DSP and then added some neutrals and a bit of blue. My color palette is Rich Razzleberry, Crumb Cake, Balmy Blue, Basic Black and Basic White.
The card base is Crumb Cake with flecks of ink from a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker. I also stamped my images on the base using Crumb Cake ink. A piece of DSP was attached to the base, then I tied a piece of linen thread to the front.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock I used a blending brush to add some color; the Balmy Blue ink was applied more generously at the bottom for a deeper color and gradually lightened the pressure as I moved towards the top. I used both Crumb Cake and Rich Razzleberry to stamp images to this same piece, then cut out a circle with the Layering Circles Dies. The Circle piece and the heat embossed sentiment were attached using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Thank you Wendy!
I love this Teri, so clean and crisp. I love the DSP and crumb cake together.
Thank you Melissa!
I love this. Such elegant simplicity…
Thank you Chris!
This is wonderful! You’ve tamed the exuberance of the DSP with a touch of Crumb Cake. The stamping in the circle is great and the white on black sentiment is the perfect touch.
Thank you Jan!
Nice Card !
