Leaf Bouquet


Such a lovely site for the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC769)! While I loved all the pretty items, I found it was tough for me to pick, because almost everything is in whites or pastels. For the most part, I’m just not a pastel person. I was really in the mood to make a fall card so when I saw THIS cookbook cover, that’s what I chose. They looked more like fall colors & the white circle was perfect for a greeting.

For my card, I started by white embossing the leaves onto a narrow strip, then sponging the fall colors over it.  Then I white embossed them again on separate pieces of green &  rust colored card stock &  fussy cut those. The white bg was dry embossed &  I popped up the greeting on its own circle. The circle stitch frame behind the greeting was sponged to match the leaves

Here’s the inside:

  1. A wonderful fall card. Love the 3D look with the bunched leaves. Also like how you embossed the white background (love that die by the way), and have a coloured strip going vertically. Very nice.

  2. The card is absolutely beautiful! I love the vibrant colors against the white background.
