Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Mary and I will pick a theme for our simple cards.  This month the theme is Fall cards!

AUTUMN LEAVES

I’ve had planned this card for a different project I needed a couple months ago and ended up not using it.  I just ran across the card again and thought I’d post it, especially since the All About Autumn Designer Paper is expected back in stock at any time!

 

 

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, score at 5-1/2 and fold to form base card.
• The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Very Vanilla cardstock was embossed with the Distressed Tiled Embossing Folder and cut with the leaf from the Autumn Leaves Dies.
• A 2 x 3 piece of All About Autumn DSP was added behind the opening, then added to the front of the card.
• The leaf veins were cut from Copper Clay cardstock and adhered to the cut-out embossed leaf.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals next to the opening.
• Some Natural Ribbon was shredded and tied in a knot, then added to the top of the leaves.
• A 5/8 x 3-3/4 strip of Copper Clay cardstock was stamped with the greeting from Autumn Leaves stamp set in Memento Black Ink and added across the top.
• Two Crumb Cake Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots were added next to the greeting.
