Autumn Layers - Stampin' Up! Layering Leaves

   I used the fabulous fall colors from the current Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge to design this card that my customers made in class this week.  These could also be great colors to base a masculine card on.

  I started with a Very Vanilla thick base and then embossed a piece of Very Vanilla with the soon to be released Distressed Tile embossing folder and adhered it to the card front.

  For the strips I used Midnight Muse, a piece of the new All About Autumn DSP in a Copper Clay/ metallic copper design and a piece of Pecan Pie.  The Midnight Muse and Pecan Pie are both stamped with the same color ink with stamps from the Layering Leaves stamp set.

  On top of the strips I added a tag made with the Tailor Made Tags dies.  The sentiment is stamped in Pecan Pie.  A bit of Copper Clay textured ribbon and vanilla bakers twine are tied on before adhering it with dimensionals.

  2 leaf sprigs are stamped; one in Misty Moonlight on Very Vanilla cardstock and the other in Copper Clay ink on the same color of cardstock.  Both are punched out with the Bough punch.  A bit of highlight coloring on both springs with Blends markers.

  Finally a tiny bough is punched from the new Oxidized Copper specialty paper and the 3 boughs are added to the side of the tag. A few mini dimensionals at the top of the sprigs help secure them to the card front.

  Final details is an adhesive-back speckled dot at the base of the stems.

  All current items used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.  Items marked with a * will be available starting September 6, 2023.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
