Hi
Again Friends!
I
wanted to share a card that I created using the TGIF Challenge! #29 Sketch along with the Fab Friday 77 Color Challenge.
I love this fabulous fall color combination so I decided to use the leaves from the retired French Foliage stamp set to create a fall "Thank You" card :-)
I hope you will have the time to stop by both of the above sites to check out the
inspiration from their fabulous Design Teams as well as their gallery entries!
To
create this card:
Using
Stāz-On® Jet Black, stamp the leaves from the retired French Foliage stamp set
onto Whisper White cardstock.
Color
the leaves using Stampin’ Write Markers- Hello Honey, Cajun Craze and
Blackberry Bliss.
Lightly
spritz the leaves with water and once dry, fussy-cut the leaves.
Using
Sponge Daubers, apply Hello Honey and Cajun Craze Classic Ink to the Watercolor
Wash background stamp, spritz with water and lightly lift a bit of the color
with a paper towel before stamping the image onto Whisper White cardstock.
Trim
off approx. 1 ½” of the background panel, ink the honeycomb stamp from the
Butterfly Basics set with Blackberry Bliss Classic Ink and stamp onto the
trimmed piece of the background panel and mount onto a piece of Blackberry
Bliss cardstock.
Trim
the remaining background panel, stamp the sentiment from the Mama Elephant
Sunday Sentiments and large splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge using
Blackberry Bliss Classic Ink.
Add
the trimmed background panel onto a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock, add the
vertical honeycomb strip and mount onto the Blackberry Bliss card base.
Add
the fussy-cut leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals® along with the 3/8” Stitched
Blackberry Bliss Satin Ribbon bow to finish off the card.

How beautiful! Those leaves look absolutely amazing, and I love that you shared how you made that gorgeous background - thanks! And thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
Such beautiful texture on this card, Julie! You certainly knew how to put these colors to work. :) Thank you so much for playing along with this FabFriday color challenge - I'm glad you did.
Absolutely beautiful, Julie! I love cards with leaves and you know how to make them "shine"!
A really pretty card--I love how you used the Watercolor Wash stamp. So far I have not been happy with that background stamp--so this gives me a new alternative. Beautiful technique on the leaves, too.
You've made those leaves are so rich and pretty! I always loved that stamp set and you've used it perfectly here. Thanks for playing along with us at the TGIF challenge blog this week.
This is GORGEOUS! I love how this came together with the 2 challenges. Thanks for playing along with #TGIFC this week!
