celebrate autumn



It's hard to believe another Papertrey Ink release has come and gone!  The new stamps are so much fun.  Lots of great Fall and Halloween sets and I had so much fun playing this month with them!  With the release last night, I get to start sharing the rest of the projects I have been creating.  First up is this fall beauty that you might have seen on Nichole's blog this morning.  I love how easy it is to create beautiful leaf patterned papers with the new Leaf Prints stamp set.  I used terracotta tile ink and randomly stamped the leaf image on my rustic cream cardstock.  Then, I inked the edges with the tea dye duo ink pads, impressed it with the linen impression plate, and stitched around the edge before adhering it to my card.



Aren't the new leaf dies so fun?!  I love how easy they make it to create leaves for us to use on our cards.  For my sentiment I used Fillable Frames #7 and the new Fillable Frames #7 die and the Mat Stack 4 die.  I stitched around the edges and added some orange rhinestones.  Last, I stitched some buttons to my leaf and added it to my card with foam adhesive.

Have a wonderful day!
Niki

Hi, Niki! I've been horrible at leaving comments lately, so I wanted to pop in to say hello. Also, I had to let you know that this card made me TOTALLY regret not buying Leaf Prints! So...I'm off to add it to my ever growing PTI card! Thanks for the inspiration, as usual! Take care!
