Have your ordered your Thoughtful Branches bundle yet? Still need more convincing just how fabulous it is? Check out today's project...
If you've followed my blog for a while, you likely know that I LOVE fall. Not so much the back-to-school-back-to-craziness part, but rather the crisp weather and gorgeous colourful show that nature puts on every year. That's a big part of the reason I got married in October...so many beautiful colours to choose from. This card embodies what I love about the fall. A tree lush with colour! To get the multi-coloured leaves I simply inked my stamp with Crushed
Curry and then added Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler using a sponge
dauber. I love the way to colours blend. Once stamped, I die-cut the
leaves with the Beautiful Branches Thinlits...so easy! The trunk is
stamped in Soft Suede ink and also die-cut.
The card base is Soft Suede card stock on which I stamped one of the leaf images from the Thoughtful Branches set using Soft Suede ink. The background panel is a piece of Crushed Curry card stock that I embossed using the Petal Burst TIEF and then lightly sponged with Pumpkin Pie ink. The sentiment, also from the Thoughtful Branches set, is stamped in Soft Suede on a 1" wide strip of Whisper White card stock and then punched with the Triple Banner punch. The only embellishements on this card are a bit of Linen Thread and a little Into The Woods Accent, which are retired but still available on the
Clearance Rack.
On the inside I added a Whisper White panel on which I stamped another of the sentiments from the stamp set in Soft Suede ink and some more leaves in Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler inks.
