Here we are starting a new challenge, all about fall! My favorite season! I love the feel, smell and colors of autumn. But if I had to chose, the two things that stand out the most for me are the harvest festivals and fall leaves. Both so fun. In today's card I am using a newly released die set, the Fall Leaf Frame Die Set. I decided to use this staple set as the "main" character, not combined with any other set and I loved the results. Let's take a look,
For this project, I used a technique I don't often apply but equally enjoy, paper piecing. As shown below I did not cut apart the frame set. I die cut the first piece in yellow cardstock and removed the center and outer pieces from the frame.
Following this step I repeated the process using red cardstock except I only removed the centerpiece part of the die. Then I adhered the two pieces together as shown below.
I proceeded to stamp the sentiment. In addition, I die cut the frame using different color cardstock.
Following the previous step, I overlaid the center cut out as a guide to adhere the "floating die pieces".
I avoided the area where the sentiment was stamped and added a few extra layers to some of the leaves and the mushroom. Finally I used Glossy Accent on selected elements.
I love this card, it's fun and pretty easy to create. Hope you have a lovely day and will see you next time!
