Hello everyone! Autumn is just a few days away and I'm waiting for the leaves to start turning colors. I love the beautiful palette nature creates for this season. I feel it is the most beautiful season of the year. And I love making autumn cards. This one was made for a friend's upcoming birthday. I was inspired by GKD Designer Theresa Momber's Wonderful Family fall card.
My base card was made using GKD ivory card stock. I layered it with GKD brown and then added another layer of honey mustard. Using a gold Gelly Roll pen and a die from Spellbinders Matting Basic A, I outlined the die both on the outside and inside. I put this aside to work on my focal panel.
Using ivory card stock and a stamp from GKD Always Autumn stamp set, I stamped my sentiment in Memento Espresso Truffle. Next, this panel was cut with Spellbinders Decorative Labels Thirty Four and, before removing it from the die, it was sponged around the edges using GKD Sweet Corn and Memento Rich Cocoa inks. Using the same stamp set, the leaves were stamped on different colored card stock, embossed with copper EP and then each was cut out.
Finally the focal panel was adhered to the prepared base card using dimensionals. The leaves were positioned around the panel and also adhered with dimensionals. This completed my project.
Thanks for visiting! Hope you come back often to see what I've been creating.
Make it a great day!
