Love of Leaves

Today I have another one of those cards that I left the sentiment off so that it can be used for lots of different occasions or one could be added later.

The stamp set I used is called Love of Leaves and I tied in colors from the Gilded Autumn specialty paper for the coordinating inks and card stock.  The background leaves are stamped with Crumb Cake ink and the focal leaf is stamped with Cajun Craze ink.  The squares are cut out with the Stitches Shapes dies.

Supplies:

Love of Leaves

Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake ink

Very Vanilla, Early Espresso card stock

Gilded Autumn specialty paper

Our Thoughts

This card is a mix of lots of different products - current, retiring and retired.  

I started with some Gilded Autumn specialty paper on the side of the Very Vanilla card base.  Next came the layered Stitched Shape Framelits for the layering the sentiment.

On the sentiment layer I added some images from the Forever Fern stamp set in the background using Mint Macaron ink and finally the sentiments from the retired Lasting Lily stamp set.

Thought of You

I did some more playing around with the Love of Leaves bundle after I put together this month's Stamp Club projects and made a few of these cards.  The background is randomly stamped with a leaf image although most of that is covered up by the Gilded Autumn specialty paper layers.  

There are three different patters of the specialty paper included on this card and I added some retired self adhesive dots to finish add a little color and dimension.
