Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our There’s No Place Like Home Challenge! Since Pennsylvania literally means “Penn’s Woods”, I wanted to go to the forest for this one.


I started by combining images from a whole bunch of stamp sets, including Butterfly Kisses, Scootin’ By, Porcu-pine for You, You Autumn Know, Scripty Autumn Sentiments, Let’s Go Nuts, You Are Sublime, and I Like You (A Lotl). I stamped the images in Jet Black Ink, colored them with my Copic markers, and trimmed them out with their matching dies.


Then I blended Distress Oxide Inks onto a panel of Bristol Cardstock. Working from the top down, I used Seedless Preserves, Worn Lipstick, Spun Sugar, and Bundled Sage. Then I die cut the Spooky Forest Backdrop out of another panel of Bristol and blended on Bundled Sage for the grass, and Vintage Photo and Gathered Twigs for the trees. I did some splatter detail with the Vintage Photo and added some metallic watercolor splatter on the sky with the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.


I added some 1/8” double-sided tape to the back of some of the branches so I could adhere my leaves to the treetops, then popped the Spooky Forest Backdrop over the background with foam tape and glued that to a Kraft card base. I adhered the rest of the images with a mix of foam tape and liquid glue. For the sentiment I stamped the word “hello” on the background, then stamped the word “fall” in Walnut Ink and used the matching die to cut it out. I finished off the card with some Stardust Stickles. I also did some stamping on the inside in Walnut Ink.

If you’d like to watch the whole process of creating this card, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! We hope you’re enjoying our There’s No Place Like Home Challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by today!
