Shades of Autumn Card

I always think of autumn when I see leaf stamps and I wanted to capture the fabulous autumnal colours in this card.

It's certainly starting to feel like it's here now. Brrrrrr!


I actually made the background for another topper but when I'd finished it I didn't like them together. Plus there was so much work in making it that I wanted it to be the focal point.


I stamped the solid leaves all over in various autumnal colours (for this part I didn't worry if the stamps overlapped). Then I went over them all with the outline stamp. I stamped the darkest leaves first and then masked them off to stamp the ones that would appear underneath them. I used second generation ink for that.

I then brushed Old Paper Distress Ink all over to take away the whiteness.


I made a simple little scene on a Spellbinders Floral Oval to complement the background. The mat for it is cut on my Cameo.

 A tag, cut in half (Spellbinders Fancy Tags 2), some bakers twine, and a verse finish it off.

    I was looking for ideas for Autumnal cards, a season that I love and found your beautiful card. It definitely inspires me to get out the autumn ink and leaf stamps and have a go. Thank you for sharing.
