Fall Card Tutorial 2022: How to Make Colorful Fall Scene Cards with the ...

I cannot wait for Fall. I am Team FALL. Where's the Pumpkin Spice Latte and pretty fall cards? Here, that's where they are!

Grassy Grove was one of my favorite bundles from Spring and I really wanted to bring it back out now we are starting to make cards just ahead of the next season. I knew it would make a great window scene backdrop but I couldn't resist another nature scene card!

The baby wipe technique is a popular way to make colorful autumn scenes quickly and you don't have wipes laying around it's ok. I actually substituted paper towels this time and it still worked. I think the baby wipes are better but I'm really happy with the paper towel version too.

For the full tutorial you can refer to the YouTube replay but basically you want to use your re-inkers, about 4-7 drops of each of your colors on a damp paper towel folded into a square. You are basically creating your own multi-color ink pad. It's pretty fun!

To stamp the pattern I recommend choosing any tree stamp in your collection. I used Beauty of Friendship - the largest tree stamp - because it covers a lot of area quickly - but I've also used the tree stamp in Grassy Grove too. It's really about getting the tree texture but in pretty custom colors.

The Starry Sky: If you haven't tried using the 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper as a backdrop or sky scene yet, oh my goodness you will love it. Because they are ombre it has this perfect sky look and the shimmer will set your card apart! Look at how the deer pop in this scene!

The fun thing about scene cards is all of the different elements you can bring together in an unexpected way. The blending brushes create a soft grassy look and let's the fall leaves be the showstopper on your card.
