Hello, stampers! Ann is our Paper Players hostess this week with a lovely fall palette:
I knew I wanted to create something with some fall leaves, and since I've been happily perusing my older stamps lately, I pulled out French Foliage...one of my favorites...along with French Script, and went to work:
I started with a Naturals White square card base, added a layer of Cajun Craze and a layer of Cinnamon Cider, stamped with the French Script stamp and shaded with a sponge. The skeleton leaf panel is a new one to me; it's from Sweet n Sassy and I sponged several colors on it before inking it up. Finally, I stamped the leaves in Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry, fussy-cutting them out and layering them in the corner. The sentiment was also fussy-cut and popped up, and I added some enamel dots for embellishment:
The sketch I used is from Inkspire Me:
And since it's a large square card, I also made my own envelope using some retired DSP and the retired Envelope Punch Board! I hope you'll play along with our pretty fall colors this week! Be sure to check out what the Design Team has created with them as well...you'll find them all at the Paper Players! Thanks for popping in today!
Here's a lone little leaf I found on one of my walks:
The leaves are finally beginning to turn! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

This is so pretty. I love that script. The lone leaf knows how to take center stage in your photo. I'm enjoying the river this morning with the sun peeking out every now and then to check on the changing leaves along the river bank.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about this stamp set. It's one of my favorites too and time to get it out. These colors are perfect for a Fall card and I love how you've used them!
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing lots of skeletal leaves on my blog-trip today - yours is the most wonderful backdrop for your fabulous card, LeAnne!
