How about a nice fall themed card. Let's take a little break from holiday card making to appreciate the gorgeous colors of fall! It's definitely feeling like fall weather here where I live. We even had a bit of snow so I thought it would be fun to use the Whimsy Stamps Sweater embossing folder. Perfect, right!

I saw an add on Pinterest and got inspiration for the color palette for my leaves.

I made this card using an A2 size card base cut from smooth white cardstock. I then took the Sweater embossing folder and ran it through the embossing machine using more white cardstock.

I die cut the Buckeye Leaf die out three times from watercolor paper. I used a drop of distress ink from the reinkers into a pallet plate. Using a spray bottle or dropper I added a bit of water to each color. I then sprayed each leaf die to make it easier for the colors to blend. I then added each ink color to the leaf in a line type pattern. I have a video on Instagram showing this coloring process.

After the leaves were dry, I splattered them with some metallic watercolors in fall colors. Gold, red, and bronze. After the leaves were completely dry I adhered them with 3d foam squares to the embossed panel leaving room in the bottom left hand corner for the sentiment. I stamped the sentiment using the Thankful and Grateful stamp set onto white cardstock. 

I then heat embossed the sentiment using gold embossing powder. I used the coordinating die to cut and used more foam squares to pop the sentiment and the sub-sentiment up.

I hope you have enjoyed the project I have made and got some inspiration. I have listed and linked all the products I used for your convenience. Thank you so much for stopping by!!
