This card is another one of the cards that I made for my dear Brett's birthday, so I am entering in the birthday contest at SUO Challenges as well as the challenges at Freshly Made Sketches and Handstamped Sentiments.
Aren't these just the perfect colors for some leaves? I thought so too. :) lol
It sure was a pain trying to get a good picture of this card today. I don't know why, but my Very Vanilla cardstock is trying to disguise itself as white. :( For my leaves, I inked them up with the main color first and then added the other two colors with my blender pens so I didn't get the tips of my markers dirty. The back panel is Core'dinations cardstock that is embossed and then sanded. I still don't have the Chalk Talk Framelits but that one was easy enough to hand cut. Much easier than those leaves that I fussy cut! :)
Stamp Sets: Chalk Talk, Magnificent Maple
Cardstock: Early Espresso Core'dinations, Crushed Curry, Very Vanilla
Ink: Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz
Tools: Decorative Label Punch, Woodgrain and Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folders, Blender Pens, sanding block

ReplyDeleteGreat take on the sketch! Love the woodgrain patterned background and your fall colored leaves! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I tend to avoid fall colors and images out of season too! But since it will be here soon and these colors are right, I think you're ok! I love how the embossed woodgrain looks with the leaves! Amazing! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteLove your Fall card!! The leaves and the woodgrain look fabulous and this is perfect for a masculine or feminine birthday (hard to create those types of cards for sure!). Thanks for playing along with us at SUO Challenges!

ReplyDeleteI agree, I don't do fall until "fall arrives"! (I used mostly Pear on mine :D) But how pretty! I love the multicolor leaves & your sanded woodgrain. And the vanilla base keeps it bright, too. Thanks for joining us at HSS! Erika
