Windy Day Cinnamon For Whimsy Stamps

Fall, Ocassions, Seasons, Thinking of You/Miss You, Whimsy Stamps

Hello friends!  Can you feel it in the air?  Autumn is on the way along with the crisp cool air and blowing leaves!  I know that some of you had said you’re not looking forward to Fall when I asked, but I absolutely love everything about it including the sweater weather season & flavors like pumpkin spice and cinnamon!  Speaking of which, I have a fun Autumn color inspired card o share with you today:

This cute image is called Windy Day Cinnamon from Whimsy Stamps.  I thought she looked as happy about Fall coming as I do, so I went with those colors in mind when creating this card.  After coloring her in with my Copics, I cut her out with a banner shaped die and went around the edges of it with tea dye distress ink and layered her onto another banner layer and set it aside.

For my card base, I took some orange colored plaid pattern paper and die cut it out with a wonky stitched rectangle die.  I took a double layer of twine and wrapped it around this piece and tied a bow towards the bottom thirds of the piece and then attached it down to the brown A2 sized top folding card base.

I took the image banner panel and added a piece of craft foam to pop her up over the card base.  I took a chipboard sentiment from my stash and added some foam tape to one side of it and glued the other side to the image panel.  I added a flower to the center of the twine bow along with a few others along the side.

Here’s a closer view of how I’ve colored Cinnamon with Copic markers:

  • Coat, Hat:  YG61, YG63, YG67
  • Shoes, Purse & Coat Buttons:  E31, E33, E35, E37
  • Scarf, Mittens, Hat Flower:  YR12, YR14, YR18
  • Hair:  YR30, Y32, E43
  • Skin:  E000, E00, E11, E21, R20, R00
  • Shadows:  E41, E42, E0000
  • Used a gel pen for the center of the flower on her hat and the purse closure button

  3. This is so cuuute, Vicki! I’m definitely ready for those crisp, cool days of autumn and I wish the breezes were blowing around here. I’m afraid we’re facing another long stretch of temperatures over 100F – at least another 7 days, according to the weather forecasters this morning. Sheesh! I’ll just come visit this darling card and get my refreshment from the heat, even if I have to visit a few times each day. 😀
    While I’m here, let me put o a DT hat and thank you for playing along with us at QKR Stampede.
