Etched Autumn stamp

Hello again friends,

I was in need of a masculine card for an avid gardener so thought the Etched Autumn stamp (#166082) would be suitable to use for the background.

I stamped the background with VeraMark (#102283) onto Very Vanilla card (#166785), then added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then added colour with Blending Brushes (#153611) and Granny Apple Green ink (#147095), Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083), Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and Cajun Craze ink (#147085).

The card front was matted with the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772). “Happy Birthday” from the With You In Mind stamp set (#164747) was also heat embossed with the Copper powder. The sentiment and foil underneath were cut with the Branching Out dies (#165775), these were attached together and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach it to the card.

The leaves were cut using a retired die from the Happy Hibiscus dies. I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014), Cherry Cobbler card (#121681), Crushed Curry card (#131288) and Cajun Craze card (#121683). I added shimmer to the leaves with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments are retired Earth Tones Shimmer Gems.

Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape

Hello again my friends,

The Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269) has a variety of floral & leafy images and also co-ordinates with the Extraordinary Flora die (#165244).

I adhered the Washi Tape to Basic White card (#166781), then cut it with the die. This is one die which cuts all the pieces individually all at on - so convenient.

I stamped the Etched Autumn stamp (#166082) for the background, with VersaMark (#102283) onto the Basic White card front. I added White powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was matted with Granny Apple Green card (#147014) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the Peace On Earth stamp set (#165918) was heat embossed with Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). I cut this with a Traditional Labels die (#165864) and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The flowers & leaves were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The gold Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.

Etched Autumn Stamp

Hi friends,

For today’s card, I have stamped the Etched Autumn stamp (#166082) onto the Basic White card (#166781) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708).

Next I added colour with Blending Brushes (#153611) using Granny Apple Green ink (#147095), Crushed Curry ink (#147087), Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and Peach Pie ink (#163810).

The sentiment from With You In Mind stamp set (#164747) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I used the Branching Out dies (#165775) to cut the stamped image, the sentiment and the Basic Black card (#121688). I taped the layers together and attached them to the Basic White base card.

The embellishments are from the retired Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems.

You can substitute any designer papers, instead of the stamping for the background. The possibilities are endless.
