Sketch Saturday - Autumn Leaves

Here’s my card for this week’s sketch challenge. I created this pretty fall background using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and blending 3 different ink colors with the mask.

 
 

The sketch is from the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. This was an easy one for me.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Crushed Curry Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Basic White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4

  • Tape the Abundant Beauty Decorative Mask over the Basic White Layer. Use Blending Brushes to add ink to the layer. I started at the bottom with Cherry Cobbler, then Calypso Coral and the top area with Crushed Curry.

  • Remove the mask. You can rinse it off with water and let it dry to use again for another project.

  • Cut the layer into 3 pieces. I cut the top at 1 1/4, the second at 1 1/2 and the bottom at 2 3/8. Adhere the pieces to another 5 1/4 x 4 Basic White Layer leaving a small gap between each piece. Adhere layer to card base.

  • Basic White scrap - cut the second largest tag from the Tailor Made Tags Dies.

  • Use a Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends to splatter ink on the tag. You can use any of the colors and can use a Stampin’ Blends or Stampin’ Write Marker.

  • Stamp a leaf with Crushed Curry Ink on a scrap of Basic White, stamping off on scrap paper to get a lighter shade. Cut with the coordinating die.

  • Cut the leaf veins from a piece of Oxidized Copper Specialty Paper and adhere to the leaf. Adhere leaf to tag and then adhere the tag to the card with Dimensionals.

  • Tie a bow with a piece of Copper Ribbon and adhere with a Glue Dot.

  • On a 5/8 strip of Basic White, stamp sentiment with Versamark Ink and heat emboss with Copper Embossing Powder. Adhere to card with Dimensionals.

  • Add some Copper Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.

 
 

Here’s a close-up of the card. You can use whatever fall colors you want!

 
 

On the inside Layer I added a few leaves that I cut from Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry using the Autumn Leaves Dies.
