In All Things, Give Thanks

 


Hi Friends!

This week at the Stamp Simply blog, the Design Team have been sharing a variety of beautiful fall/autumn cards.    

Again, if you have not had a chance to check out my Sister DT cards yet, I hope you will do so- wonderful inspiration from all!



I decided to create a fall card using the Tim Holtz Fall Foliage Thinlits Dies along with the Welcome Fall stamp set and the Craft Consortium Sunset Ink Drops 6x6 Paper Pad.



This paper has such great colors and textures- perfect for fall leaves and you do not need to watercolor!  Easy, peasy. 

Die cut various leaves from a piece of the Sunset Ink Drops 6x6 Paper using the different dies from the Tim Holtz Fall Foliage Thinlits set. Crumple gently by hand and set aside.



Emboss a piece of white cardstock with the Sizzix 3D Texture Fades A6 Foliage embossing folder. Trim and mount onto a piece of black cardstock, trim again and mount onto a piece of the Craft Consortium Sunset 6x6 paper.  FYI- I used same piece of paper that I had used to die cut all of the leaves as the final background panel of the main card front, love it when that happens!

Trim a piece of black cardstock for the horizontal panel.

De-static the horizontal panel with an embossing powder tool, ink the verse sentiment from the Welcome Fall stamp set with Versamark, stamp onto the prepared cardstock, apply white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Layer the horizontal panel onto the card front, add the die cut leaves tucking a few around the edge of the panel.

Use a water brush with frost white shimmer paint to add shimmer to the leaves and finish off the card with orange rhinestones.



I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be joining the Double D Challenges "Collaboration with Altenew Stencils/Anything Goes Challenge and the Can You Handle the Pressure? "Anything Goes Embossing with a twist of Nautical Challenge.

This card is gorgeous! I never would have thought to use the paper pack that you used, for leaves. It worked perfectly for your beautiful card. Thanks for linking up to the Double D Challenge. Best of luck to you!
