Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for
This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme of
Anything Autumn
It was my SiL's birthday a few days ago, and as I had shown her how an embossing folder worked on a recent visit, I thought I would include one on her card. I wanted to use a new embossing folder with leaves, and leave it white, but, it needed some colour. I added some to the folder and placed the already embossed sheet into it. It produced a feint effect of colour, which I liked.
I used the same colours on the leaves after stamping them with green. The acorns were stamped and coloured, then both were fussy cut. I cut a strip of white and stamped the sentiment. Then left it a couple of days, thinking what to do next.
I thought a touch of ribbon? So off to my ribbon drawers, and I came across the hessian. Of course, I had to use that. I cut it to fit the sentiment piece of card. I glued the embossed piece onto the base card, then added the hessian and sentiment piece. Next I added the leaves and acorns to the top corner and placed just the acorns onto the bottom, beside the sentiment.
Another simple card, even using similar colours as my first challenge card this month for the WLSC.
stamps - Magazine freebies SC&P
inks - Distress Inks, mustard seed, twisted citron, ripe persimmon, carved pumpkin
embossing folder - Lisa Horton, Fancy Foliage.
hessian and card - stash
I just have a few words to add. Thank you all for your continuing support, whilst hubby isn't well. xx
