Life Is Better With You Autumn Card and A Fun Instagram Hop

Today I'm sharing my card that's part of Honey Bee Stamps Instagram hop to celebrate the Spooktacular Release!  I'm keeping my card details brief so you can join us over on the hop to see lots of amazing inspiration from the Honey Bee team.

These are the Honey Bee products I used for my gorgeous autumn card:

• Lovely Layers: Fall Foliage
• Ornate A2 Cover Plate - Base
• Rattan Basket die set
• Grain and Grunge 6 x 8-½" paper pad

I find some so very relaxing and enjoyable about dropping various watercolors onto a piece of watercolor paper!  That's what I did first.  I used colors from a watercolor set and a metallic set (linked below) to fill the paper with gorgeous color.  I let them air dry, then die cut the Lovey Layers: Fall Foliage dies from the pieces.

I die cut the Rattan Basket from Neenah Desert Storm cardstock and colored it with Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo Distress ink.

I ran the top of my card base through my die cutting machine with the Ornate A2 Cover Plate Base.  Then I added a strip of paper from the Grain and Grunge paper pad.  I inked all the edges very lightly with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

I heat embossed the sentiment from the Beautiful Bloom stamp set in copper embossing powder.  Then I used the coordinating die to cut it out.
