Autumn Theme Week- Day 2

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a girly Autumn card as part of our Autumn Theme Week. I just love pink, no matter the season. So I thought I’d try it for an Autumn card and I’m glad it worked out for my card.

Be sure to shop the Thanksgiving section for 15% off items in this category all week!

Let’s start! I first cut a 5″ square in light pink cardstock and ink blended the bottom with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink. I then cut a 4.5″ square in white cardstock and ink blended Gina K Designs Amalgam Ink in Warm Glow through the Leaves Background Stencil. I adhered the smaller panel onto the larger panel. I also cut a 4.5″ square vellum to mute the busy background and allow the leaves/wreath to stand out. 

Next, I used the Falling Leaves Stencil for some easy coloring. I used Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide Inks. I then lined up the coordinating stamps from the Falling Leaves stamp set and used my stamping platform to stamp over the stenciled leaves. For this, I used Memento Rich Cocoa Ink. I cut the leaves with their coordinating dies. I arranged the leaves in a wreath and foam mounted them onto the vellum panel. I then adhered the vellum to the 4.5″ square panel. 

For the sentiment, I heat embossed Autumn in gold and cut with the coordinating die. The word blessings is stamped onto a strip of pink cardstock and foam mounted in the center of the card. 

I couldn’t resist adding the little acorns from the Cozy Fall Critters stamp set onto my wreath. To complete the look, I also tied a bow using brown twine. 

Lastly, I cut a white 5″ square, scored at the .25″ mark, and adhered it to the card panel to finish my card.

I hope you enjoyed my pink Autumn card! Have an amazing day!
