Autumn Blessings

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today. I hope you are all well ?

Autumn is my favourite time of year, I love that you can start to get your cosy clothes on, the colours of nature and just how beautiful everything looks, so I just had to create a autumn themed card.

I used the Autumn Borders Stamp set (which is currently on sale) and Half Striped Cover Die to create this card and tried to show a fun way to use your border stamps and cover dies.

I started off by cutting the die using Neenah Card and then making sure to keep the larger insert piece I stamped along one edge using the stamp set and coloured it in using alcohol markers. I also did something I haven’t done for a long time and added lots go shading around the image and added some gel pen detailing. I also kept one of the larger strip pieces and used that to stamp my sentiment.

I had these piece of patterned paper which I thought matched the theme well without taking away from the stamped piece and I adhered that to t6he front of an A2 card. I then carefully adhered all the other pieces onto the card.

I decided it still needed a little something near the greeting so I took some of the Gold Crystals and added them to the greeting strip to finish the whole card off.
