Look at these colors...are you kidding me!? My Stampin' Up order came on Friday and whet my appetite for Fall. Who woulda thought that Raspberry Ripple would be so pretty with the hues in the new Autumn Harvest designer series paper? I doubt I would ever have put them together until I saw this falling leaves paper. I'm lovin' the brights!
This card layout was also inspired by Unscripted Sketches #174 and The Paper Players Falling Leaves/Trees Challenge this week. See?
To make this card, I used SU's NEW! Wood Grain Embossing Folder, which is awe-to-the-some because you can also use it as a stamp by simply inking it up. Another cool thing to try from the new SU catalog is the Coordinations cardstock and sandpaper block. To make this embossed look of tree bark on my card, I ran my Early Expresso Coordinations cardstock through the Big Shot with my wood grain folder and then sanded off the top. Then, it was just a matter of layering some pretty paper from Orchard Harvest DSP and Comfort Cafe DSP along with some Brights Buttons. You can find all these items by going to the SHOP!
