The base card is cream card stock on which I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up’s “Hand penned Holidays” with Distress ground espresso ink.
On a piece of water color paper I smooshed Distress inks and swirled them around with water.
Once dry I cut 1” squares and stamped the leaves from Stampin’ Up’s “Autumn” set.
Around each edge I ran a dark brown alcohol marker.
Four of the inchies I glued to the card front and one I use foam squares.
Such a rich appeal to this card and truly a beautiful design. It really does feel like fall with those autumn colours. Love all the finishing touches. Thanks so much for joining us at CAS Mix Up!
