I started by creating a water colored and stamped scene using the apple barrel, long branch, and two berry images from the Autumn Harvest stamp set. I added some twine around the barrel and some dots of red and white glaze gel pen for texture to the berries. It's hard to see, but it's there! ;)
Next, I added a sentiment from the same Autumn Harvest set. I stamped it on a separate panel, then popped it up using dimensional foam onto the panel. I LOVE the gorgeous font in this set!
I decided to add a little femininity to the card with a doily, some rhinestones, and a couple of pearls. It added the perfect finishing touch! :)
I think that the orange polka dot paper I added to the kraft base, along with all the kraft matting I did, really helps bring a feeling of fall to this creation! I LOVE it and I hope you do, too! Please leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
Thank you so much for stopping by, friends! I'll be back tomorrow with another card using *NEW* stamps from Inspired By Stamping! For more inspiration, make sure to head over to Joanna's blog for a list of those who are crafting today! Until tomorrow, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

As I mentioned to the other DT, your pretty barrel of fall flowers stirs memories of the long-ago days spent on my grandparents' farm. Grandma transformed worn wooden barrels in to the most beautiful flower gardens. Thank you for sharing your gift of creativity that evokes such treasured recollections! Autumn blessings, indeed!
