Fantabulous Fall thank you card tutorial

Fall is here with all of its glorious color!  Fall is definitely my favorite season of the year and making fall cards is my favorite! For today’s card project I used Leaf stamps from the Fantabulous Fall Digital Stamps.  So perfect for fall.

I printed out the leaves I wanted onto white card stock.  Each of my elements were about 1.5”.  I wanted to be able to see the background but needed the leaf elements to be the focal points.

I did try to vary my colors and used more than one color on each leaf.

All of my leaves/pumpkins were colored.  I chose 8 separate elements and colored 2 of each. Here are the Copic colors I used: YG91, YG95, YG23, YG11, YG17, Y11, Y21, Y15, Y38, Y28, Y35, R02, R05, R14, E08, YR04

After the leaves were colored I fussy cut them on the outline and then went around the edges with a black water-based marker.  Then I cut a panel to 4” x 5 ¼” and embossed it with a 3D embossing folder.

I made a white A2 size top folding card base and adhered the embossed panel to it.  Then I adhered my colored elements to it with liquid glue…mindful of shape and color.  I added little dots of sparkly gold peel-offs here and there.  I added a sentiment peel-off in gold and adhered it to a leftover piece of the teal background card stock.  I die cut it and then backed it with gold glitter paper leaving a very narrow margin.  I adhered this with foam tape.

I hope I’ve inspired you to create a lovely fall card…so satisfying with the bright colors!

Til next time…
