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.

Serene Love Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

This fussy cut flower is also from the Serene Love Designer Series Paper (#166261). I have used the Lost Lagoon flowers on recent cards & scrapbook pages from the same pack.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with a Basics Embossing Folder (now retired), and matted with Real Red card (#106578). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

A piece of the Serene Love DSP was attached to the bottom of the card front. I cut a piece of the Country Lace Designer Series Paper (#163415) with a Deckled Circles Die (#162286) and attached this to the card.

A Lifetime Of Love die (#162583) was used to cut the Real Red card for the circle of leaves. This card was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and attached to the card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Magnolia Mood stamp set (also retired) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and cut with a die from the Happy Hibiscus (#164879).

The flower & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the Opal Rounds Assortment (#163298).
