Monday Montage 244 - Rustic Crate


I wish I had a crazy super power that could slow down time, or provide little windows where time slows down in my little circle so I can get stuff done, or get some rest  before I have to catch up to everything else.  I took a little 3 day vacation and came home with more souvenirs than I planned on.  Covid hitched a ride and made for a miserable next 5 days.  Unfortunately, for work, it was all hands on deck, so I worked through it instead of sleeping through it.  No Fun!  And to top it off I got the worst cold sore I've had in years! Now it is just a scabby mess on my face.  Can't hide that.

Its time again for these talented crafters to hopefully provide you with a little inspiration.  I know I always get inspired by the projects.  Fall is just around the corner and I am itching to get some of my fall décor out!  I love all the colors of fall.
I have a whole stash of Very Vanilla cardstock that has just been asking to be used.  This project lent itself to the soft tones of the vanilla cardstock.  I stamped the image of the pumpkins, sunflowers and corn and then colored them.  I tried to create some Indian Corn to provide more color to the image. The colors are so vivid.  I stamped the crate in two different browns to gets a little texture/depth to the wood.  Layered it on coordinating cardstock  and embossed paper.

Oh so sorry to hear your story. You had a rough time in the beginning of September. At least you made an awesome card. :)
