Leaves Fall card... More days Like This

 Hello I have a Leaves Fall card to share.  I was so inspired by the Inspired by...Leaves Challenge that I knew I had to join the challenge.  



Without further ado here is my card.


On my card, I wanted to use the inspiration photo and sketch.  I started out with die-cutting leaves from a older Spellbinders die set called Autumn Leaves.  I used Mix Media Arches paper in 140 pounds.  I then inked my leaves around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink and Rusty Hinge distress Oxide ink.  Next, I painted them with Gansai Tambi Starry Colors in Red Gold using a paint brush and water.



I then ran a older Spellbinders Falling Leaves embossing folder through my die cutting machine. My embossing folder was inked with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink on cream colored cardstock 110 pounds.  I cut out some brown heavy weight cardstock 110 pounds using my paper trimmer trying to mimic the sketch design.  


I cut a printed sentiment out from a Unity Stamp Co. freebie using my paper trimmer. I made it a fishtail banner using my scissors.  I then glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  My embossed panel is 4 x 5 1/4.  I pinched my leaves before gluing them to my squares, I like this look.  I love how this card came out it was so fun and I just love Fall leaves, so thank you to Inspired by for this fun challenge.  I hope I inspired you to participate!  Hugs!!

Fall inspired Leaf Cards

 Hello everyone.  I made some Fall inspired Leaf Cards.  I was inspired by a Background die by Altenew that is new to me and had been in my stash for awhile now ready to get used.  It's so hard to believe we are almost in September.  Oh my gosh these days go by way too fast.


Here are my Fall inspired cards.


This is the first card I made.  I started out with a yellow cardstock and ink blended it with Distress inks in Mustard Seed Oxide, Ripe Persimmon Oxide, and Peeled Paint.  I inked them diagonally first and then I ink blended the corners.  These are my favorite colors for Fall.  I then splattered some gold paint from my Gansai Tambi starry colors with a fan paint brush. I then used an Altenew Zero Waste Leaf Pattern Die.  I cut out my background and it cut out everything including all the leaves and circles.  

I cut my negative background with my paper trimmer to be A2 size and glued it to a gray A2 card base.  I started putting some leaves and circles back into the negative background with foam tape and liquid glue.  I also used the Altenew Zero waste leaf die with a light brown cardstock and glued some of those leaves and circles back in place.   I ink blended some areas with Vintage Photo distress ink.   I added a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp stamp and die called etched greetings with foam tape.  I then glued some leaf and sequin embellishments.



And for my second card I glued the negative background that I cut earlier for my first card and glued it to a white A2 card base.  I glued in leaves left over from my first card and from the light brown cardstock  that I had die cut with liquid glue and foam tape.  I glued some circles back in too.  It's a nice die to own. I also ink blended with Vintage Photo Distress ink on my card like my first card.  I glued a sentiment with foam tape to my card from the same stamp and die set from Simon Says stamp.  I used fall color sequins and that finishes this card.  I hope you like my cards for today. I had fun making them.
