It has been a very busy summer. Now the air is a bit colder and the leaves are turning yellow. Yup, it's just about time for Fall. Such a beautiful season of vibrant colours, how could you not love it! (Well except for the fact that it signifies the fast approach of winter, that is!) So in honor of this gorgeous season, I made this card.
For inspiration in making this card, I followed this week's challenge from the Global Design Project team which happens to be a sketch challenge.
For this card my focus was on the beautiful Gather Together bundle. Again I used my brayer and ink pads to create my fall-colored sheet that I used for my die-cut leaves. (Please see my previous blog post for more info on this technique:) ) Here I used Mossy Meadow, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze ink pads.
I used the coordinating Gathered Leaves Dies to die cut my leaves out of this sheet and some Gold Foil sheet as well. I also used my Starburst Punch on a piece of Kraft cardstock and then I sponged the edges of this with Soft Suede ink. My sentiment was from the same sheet that I created and stamped using Early Espresso ink pad. My mat piece is a 4" x 5 1/4" Mossy Meadow cardstock that I ran through my Big Shot with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder. And lastly I also added a strip of the retired Wood Textures DSP into the mix.
So I just put everything together, fanning my leaves out and adhering some with dimensionals for additional layer. For embellishment I used the coordinating Come to Gather Ribbon pack and made a bow with the Cajun Craze linen thread, and then added some Iridescent Sequins for some shimmer.
And that is my fall card for today. I hope you liked it and hope to see you next time. Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting!
