My Card with Textured Stitched Leaves

I love the stitched leaves and I wanted to scrunch them up to create this pile of leaves. It is certainly more reminiscent of autumn than the spring sunshine we are currently experiencing.

• Stamps: Love of Leaves
• Tools: Stitched Leaves; Bark 3D Embossing Folder; Playful Alphabets; Dark Soft Suede Stampin’ Blend
• Paper/Card: Crumb Cake; Early Espresso; Soft Suede; Old Olive; Shaded Spruce; Garden Green;
• Ink: Early Espresso; Soft Suede
• Adhesives: Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive; Dimensionals

Instructions for A Card with Textured Stitched Leaves

• Fold the card base in half on the score line. Stick the Early Espresso mat to the card base. Emboss the Soft Suede mat with the bark 3D embossing folder. Tear the 4 edges of this card before sticking to the card front.
• Die cut the stitched leaves from the different coloured cardstock. Scrunch up the leaves, then flatten them out. Sponge the leaves lightly with Soft Suede.
• Die cut the letters from Early Espresso.
• Stamp the greeting on Crumb Cake card with Early Espresso ink and back it onto Early Espresso card.

• Arrange the leaves onto the card front, sticking some on flat with liquid adhesive and adding some with dimensionals. Add the letters into the pile of leaves and then tuck the greeting in with dimensionals.
• Take the Stampin’ Blend and add splatters to the card front.

• Stamp 2 large leaves onto the Very Vanilla mat. Stick the mat to the inside of the card.
