Grateful Oak Leaves - Stampin' Up! Iconic Imagery

   Switching away from Christmas cards for a minute I've got an autumn card that I made using my limited supplies that I brought while on vacation.  I made this Christmas card and this Christmas card with the same supplies but the great thing about the Iconic Celebrations Suite is that it covers Christmas, winter, autumn and even birthdays so I had a lot of choices even though I only brought one stamp set and one die set with me.

  I used one of the great patterns in the Iconic Celebrations DSP to start this card.  The plaid pattern in Pecan Pie (say that 5 times fast!!) had a great autumn vibe so I covered the whole card front with it.  The label is cut from some more long hoarded retired cardstock called Naturals Ivory and I simply stamped the sentiment in the center in Pecan Pie ink.  A linen thread bow was tied around the card front before the label is popped on dimensionals.

  The fun fall colors come in with the little oak leaf image.  I stamped it a number of times in various colors (listed below) with full strength ink for the outline and stamped off once or twice ink for the fill in stamp so there was some variation in tones. Once they were all die cut I adhered them falling around the label on a diagonal.

  Finally a few Pecan Pie Ribboned adhesive-backed dots are scattered among the leaves for a tiny bit of shine.

  I'm really excited for all the creative possibilities the Iconic Imagery bundle has.  Throw in the DSP and dots for even more choice!

  All of the current supplies used to create this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.  The Iconic Celebrations Suite can be found in the Online Exclusives section of the store.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
