Fall Swap Card

For this card, I stamped the clear-mount block using Crumb Cake ink on White CS. I then masked off the stamped edge with post-it notes and stamped the leaves using Pear, More Mustard, Suede and Riding Hood Red inks. I trimmed the panel to 1/4" around the stamped edge and sponged the edges with Suede ink. For the Background I stamped Sanded background using Crumb Cake ink on White CS and then sponged lightly over the panel with Peach and Pear inks. The greeting is from last years hostess set. Certainly Celery Satin Ribbon, Decorative Label Punch, Wide Oval Punch and Rhinestones.

This leaf is so nice stamped and then sponged using the same color of ink. ~Stamps: French Foliage, Falling Leaves. ~ Paper: Soft Suede CS, Vanilla CS, Chocolate Chip CS. ~ Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz, Bravo Burgundy and Crumb Cake. ~ Accessories: Pumpkin Pie Taffeta Ribbon, Paper-Piercer and Mat Pack, Jewelry Tag Punch, Sponge.

Newsprint Fall

Another card using the lovely French Foliage Set! I sponged the edges of the newsprint and Vanilla CS with Espresso ink. The images were stamped with Espresso and the splash drops were stamped lightly with Peach Parafait ink. I stamped the three leaves then cut them out and sponged the edges with Espresso as well! The Espresso Taffeta Ribbon and brads complete the card!

Earth Tone Leaves

This French Foliage Set from the Holiday Mini is my favorite set, I knew the moment I saw this set, I would use the heck out of it and I am! I stamped the three focal point leaves on white CS with Early Espresso and then cut them out. I then sponged very lightly over the cut out leaves with Early Espresso and I love this look! So I tried it with several other colors and loved those too, the white sponged veins are such a nice contrast! The base card is Espresso CS stamped with Espresso ink with the large leaf. The newsprint is sponged lightly in places with Espresso and Suede inks and wrapped with Espresso 1/4" taffeta ribbon. The Top Note Die is cut out with Whisper White CS and stamped with the leaves using Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Soft Suede inks. I used an Antique Brad to finish off the top note along with more Taffeta ribbon and the three leaves!
