I absolutely LOVE this stamp set! I love the subway word art trend that is all over the place and the best part about this stamp set is that it includes a Fall and a Winter themed stamp!  With the beginning of September all things pumpkin have returned and I am loving it although my waistline is not, lol!  I now live in Louisiana and so we do not have the traditional Fall season but I remember them from one point in time.  

After playing with this stamp set, I am now ready to break out the pumpkin pie and lattes everyday from here until December!  I originally was going to make a traditional size card, 4 1/4x 5 1/2, but due to the size of the stamp I opted for a 6x6 card base.  The other layered  papers are cut at 5 1/2x5 1/2, 5 1/4x 5 1/4, 5x5 and 2 1/2x 4 3/4 respectively.  I used Smokey Plum for the base, the layered  colors are Autumn Terracotta, Barn Red, Goldrush and Honey.  The inks were stamped in the same order with the exception of Honey ink, which was not used.  I simply masked off each section as I went.  That is the beauty of our stamps, since they are clear you can see exactly what you are doing!  I also used the maple leaf from A Wonderful Season D1498, to do some random stamping on the Goldrush layer because it looked to plain otherwise. 

All products used were from Close to my Heart and can be found on my website at www.scrapperstherapy.com  Also visit my fan page on Facebook for more artwork and the current specials at www.facebook.com/scrapperstherapy.
