Oh hello October! I have been patiently waiting for you to arrive and am so happy you're finally here :). Today the Sr. Papertrey Ink team members are revisiting the Autumn Hills stamp set. It's one of my favorites.
I stamped my image using Versamark Watermark ink on a Kraft tag die cut using the Tag Sale #9 die. I then used my Gelatos and painted my hills soft autumn colors using my waterbrush.
I then stamped over my tag using the Background Basics: Sheet Music stamp set and Melon Berry ink. I added some gold glitter to my trees to help bring in the feel of fall. Behind my tag I used patterned paper, vellum, and trim, and the Turning a New Leaf die. My sentiment is stamped on a Double Ended Banners die in Dark Chocolate ink. And, of course, I added in a few soft Melon Berry buttons to finish everything off.
My next card uses the lovely fall tree images from the Autumn Hills set and the sweet pumpkin grouping. I embossed my trees in gold and pumpkins in white on a die cut vellum tag cut using the Mat Stack 3 die.
I added sequins at the bottom of my tag to resemble fallen leaves, and then added a junk bow at the top.
I added my sentiment just below the tag using Simply Chartreuse ink. My polka dotted paper is from the Polka Dot Parade pack.
I hope you're inspired to create for fall! It goes by far too quickly, so enjoy each minute :).
These other designers have projects using this set to share with you as well:

Such lovely fall colors on both. I do love October & these are gorgeous representations of autumn. The sequins are perfect! I've stocked up on vellum so I can try some of your fun embossing. Big Hugs.

Sequins, sheet music, a gorgeous color palette for fall and a wonderful way to use these stamps again. Oops almost forgotten...that vellum tag. Subtle and rich colors are mixed together and it's breathtaking.

You use tags as focal points better than anyone else.
