Stamp Simply 2022 Fall Release- Falling Leaves

 Hi Friends!

Welcome to the Fall 2022 Release from Stamp Simply!  I love the images and sentiments in both of sets as well as the word die- they are so versatile!

When I first saw the images, I knew that I wanted to create a Clean and Simple set of cards with a sunset background (see this post for the second card).  

To create this card:  Using distress oxide ink and a blending brush (see colors below), blend the colors for the background onto a piece of white cardstock. 

Once you are satisfied with the background, de-static the panel with an embossing powder tool, ink the leaf strip image with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool (I actually stamped two on the panel and created a third card that I will share shortly). 

Trim the stamped leaf image panel, mount onto black cardstock. 

Ink the “With Gratitude” sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink and stamp onto a 4” x 5 ¼” piece of white cardstock (Tip- use a sticky note to cover up the word “gratitude”, ink the stamp, remove the sticky note and stamp onto the white cardstock). 

Mount onto a piece of 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of black cardstock and mount onto a white card base.

Die cut the Sympathy word die from black cardstock (I die cut two and adhered them together to create a bit thicker die cut). 

Mount to the card front below the leaf panel and add a few black rhinestones.

Use a clear glitter marker to add shimmer to the leaves and the die cut sentiment.

I enjoy playing along with challenges and am linking this card to the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #177 Featured Designer Stef (center row down Red- Leaves- CAS) and the Simon Says Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge.
