"Explore the beauty of the Autumn in Kyoto Collection by Alex Syberia with this thoughtfully curated bundle filled with Japanese-inspired designs.

There is a beautiful Japanese Maple Branch die set that is exclusive and only available in the Autumn In Kyoto Curated Bundle.  This Bundle is available here, or here.

Keep reading for my card details and supply list!

First I used the Scenic Kyoto Press + Foil Plate for the card background.  I love that these plates can now be used in the BetterPress Letterpress system or the Glimmer Hot Foil System.  I chose to use glossy black foil and my Glimmer System with the plate.  This gives you the most beautiful crisp black image.

Next I used the stencils that come in the Autumn In Kyoto Press + Foil & Stencil Bundle.  I've listed the inks and blending brushes I used in my list below.  There are six stencils for you to color the details in every season!

When I finished coloring the image, I trimmed the panel to 4" x 5-¼" and glued it to an A2 card base.

Next I used one of the three letterpress/hot foil kokeshi dolls in the Autumn In Kyoto Press + Foil Plate & Die Set and added black foil with my Glimmer System to my white cardstock. 

I used my Copic markers to color the doll and then cut it out with the included coordinating die.

I added foam tape to the back of the kokeshi doll to adhere it to the card.  There are dies for sentiments included in the Autumn In Kyoto Press + Foil Plate & Die Set and I die cut black glossy cardstock with two sentiments, two times.  After I glued the layers together I glued the sentiments to my card.

Thanks so very much for stopping by today!  I hope you will join me over on my Instagram to see lots more beautiful inspiration with the
