Leaf Prints Anniversary

Keeping with the fall leaves theme 

from the last few blog posts, I made an 

anniversary card for my son and daughter-in-law, 

using colours from their October 2015 wedding. 

(You can see details of their wedding in this post.)

 

Rustic White card base was stamped with 

small leaf images (Monthly Moments: September) 

using Fine Linen ink. All of the edges were sponged 

with additional ink to create a distressed look. 

Blue card stock (Recollections) was 

used to create the main focal panel. 

One of the Leaf Prints dies was used to 

die cut two leaves from the blue card stock 

and another two from Rustic White card stock. 

The blue panel was impressed with  

Stitching Impression Plate  

before adhering it to the front of the card.

The two white die cuts were stamped with 

Canyon Clay, Summer Sunrise, Simply Chartruese 

and Classic Kraft inks. The die cuts were attached 

in a few places so that they could be curled up. 

I also stamped the leaf images on the white base, 

so the colours could be seen under the die cut pieces.

The sentiment (Quilted: Spring) was 

stamped with Close To My Heart: Moonstruck ink.

Kraft coloured ribbon, Rustic Jute Twine 

and a blue button finish the card details.

The senitments 

(Autumn Hills & Keep It Simple: Anniversary) 

were stamped with Canyon Clay and Moonstruck ink. 

The leaf (Leaf Prints) used the same combination 

of colours from the card front.
