Rustic autumn leaves...

Hello!

I've been having fun with my new goodies from the Autumn/winter catty and one of the sets I hadn't managed to get inky (until yesterday!) was Wonderfall, which has a fab coordinating die. When I saw the colours at Dynamic Duos I thought this set would work really well with these autumnal colours. I used one of the Freshly Made Sketches for my layout...


Here's what I ended up with...


I stamped the leaves in Cajun Craze and Always Artichoke and the acorn in Crumb Cake and added dimension by bending and folding the leaves. I couldn't resist adding a brushed bronze button with a bit of linen thread. The ribbon is Always Artichoke seam binding and underneath is some cotton ribbon (from the autumn/winter catty) that I cut the edges off and frayed for a bit of a rustic feel. The dsp is from Orchard Harvest with some First Edition dsp in the background (can't go wrong with this paper!!) The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and cut with one of the Itty Bitty Banners dies coming in the new catty next month (hee!!).

Thanks for stopping by!

  6. Love this set and it looks fantastic in the challenge colors. The ribbon treatment is very clever and I'll have to give it a go-definitely perfect for either a fall or masculine card.
