Autumn Leaves w/Kara

Hello, and Happy World Cardmaking Day!

It's Kara and I'm back with a fun fall card design. This is the perfect season for curling up with a hot cup of tea. This teacup from the Hello & Thanks stamp set is perfect and so versatile!

The set comes with beautiful floral designs to sit inside the cup, but I encourage you to try images from your other sets. The single sunflower from the new Autumn Blessings set fits perfectly too.

For this card I wanted to fill the cup with some leaves for autumn. I stamped a few images from the Autumn Leaves stamp set using a mixture of two pure Color Dye Ink colors, Pumpkin Spice and Gala Red. While positioning the leaves inside the cup I was unable to come up with an arrangement that I liked. I decided to push it off my work surface, work on something new and then come back to it. When I did that, the leaves moved into this flowing arrangement and I loved it! I quickly snapped a picture with my phone so that I could recreate it on my card.

I decided I wanted a little more interest in the design, but wanted the focus to remain on those pretty leaves. I popped up a circle to ground the design and sponged on the same colors in the leaves into the negative space behind the circle. I sprinkled in a few acorns from Autumn Blessings stamped in Coconut Husk ink.

I used the same ink to stamp my sentiment from the So Very stamp set. Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you like it!
