For my card I was given the Autumn Grove stamp set along with their newest birch tree dies to play with. I thought it would be fun to ink up the background to look like dusk behind the die-cut trees. To give my tree trunks the glow of moonlight, I cut them from both black (for the outline) and again from white cardstock which I shaded with neutral grey Copic markers.
For my sentiment, I inked up a piece of scratch cardstock with a blend of yellow and orange ink using a foam applicator and then stamped the sentiment over the top afterwards. The little scarecrow and three pumpkins were colored with Copic markers and fussy cut to finish my scene. I had so much fun creating this card! :)
