Fall Breeze and Autumn Leaves

Hello crafty friends! I love the colors of autumn with a few touches of gold on cards! I used both gold and the autumn colors on my card today featuring the gorgeous Honey Bee Stamps Fall Leaves 3D embossing folder.  This was a fun and easy card to make as you will see from the details below!

First I inked up a A2 sized panel of 80# Neenah with Distress Inks. With a few detail blending brushes I added Aged Mahogany, Fired Brick, Dried Marigold, Scattered Straw, and Shabby Shutters Distress inks. I placed the panel into the Fall Leaves 3D embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine.

I trimmed the embossed panel to 4" x 5-¼" and adhered it to an A2 card base with glue.

Next I inked up a scrap piece of white cardstock with the same Distress Ink colors as above. Then I die cut the piece with one of the very first Lovely Layers sets:  Lovely Layers: Maple Leaf. This is one of my most favorites!! I die cut the outline layer from gold metallic cardstock. After I adhered the two layers together with glue, I added foam dots to the back to adhered it to the card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Hello and the Mini Messages stamp sets with clear embossing ink. I sprinkled on gold embossing powder and used my heat tool to set it. Raise your hand if you love dies that coordinate with the sentiments! I cut the sentiments with the coordinating Heartfelt Hello and Mini Messages Banners dies.

I wanted just a few more touches on the card and was so happy that I had saved some pieces leftover from a previous project using the Lovely Layers: Fall Bounty Honey Cuts. I added some gold metallic paint splatters for a bit more of that gold. I adhered them with glue under the sentiments that are popped up with foam tape strips.

I added some orange gem stickers that are in the Spooktacular Gem Stickers set.

I sure hope you found inspiration for your autumn cards today!  I love how the sentiment could be changed to suit many different occasions too!  Thank you so very much for stopping by!
