Just Rite Challenge this week is to make a Fall card…
Oh my goodness… I love it… it worked out perfectly for me…
My husbands birthday is tomorrow… and I had to make a special card for him… it
is his 70th birthday… and so it has to be very special… and what better to make a special card with
than Just Rite stamps…

| Easel Fall Birthday Card |
So I decided that since we own a farm… a farm card would be
the best for his card… so I stamped all these great stamps from this set… I colored the barn like ours… and since we
live in Western NC our soil is on the orange
side… and the grass is still green.. the skies are a lovely blue this time of
year… so this was just what I
wanted… I used a piece of paper in the
background that I created with twinkling H20’s and my mini misters that I created
with perfect pearls and reinkers… love
them…
I love the glimmer that they produce… I used a Spellbinder die for the vine of
leaves.. love this… as it moves all around my barn oval… love it…
the little sign up in the corner… is just perfect… not too big… not too
small..
Just RITE!! Perfect..

The inner layer of this Easel card was a lot of fun too… I
used the pumpkin die from Spellbinders… and then the basket of fruit, pumpkin
and gourds… with an ear of corn… all things that are so typical of our farm…
we just harvested about 600 pounds of one kind of squash and about ½ ton of
another kind… the corn… well that is a sad story.. the crows moved in and ate
all the ears of corn that were just about ready to pick… so we didn’t have a
good harvest of corn at all this season… but did have a few in the first
harvest of sweet corn… the corn stalks have all been chipped for compost and
are ready to go on to the beds for a winter covering… we use a lot of leaves too.. so I stamped a
few leaves.. .( I made the leaf stamp myself..)
and used a page from a book as the background… all things that are around here… the corrugated paper… okay… a box flap was
laying on my work table… and I tore the paper off the one side… and voila a
nice piece of background paper… I try to
never let good things go into the ‘garbage’
using as much as I can…
