Autumn Leaves card

Posted on August 29, 2023September 8, 2023 by Mo Rootes

I have been playing with the Autumn Leaves stamp set recently and have come up with a sweet half a sheet wonder which, when cut down made two cards.

Colours used in these cards are:

To recreate the cards, you will need:

Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞”
2 card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – I used Wild Wheat & Moody Mauve
Blackberry Bliss card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

I mounted all the outline leaf images and the leaf veins onto clear acrylic blocks and began stamping along the long side of the large piece of Basic White card. I then stamped leaves from one long side down the middle to the other long side.

Using a Post It Note, I masked one of the double leaves and inked up with Old Olive ink and added the veins in Early Espresso ink. The double leaves were then stamped together in Wild Wheat ink adding the veins in Copper Clay ink.
