Colorful Seasons Fall Card in Mixed Metals

Don't you just love the mixed metal look?  It is on trend right now and is the perfect combination for a Fall card and I can't wait to use it on other projects! For this card I used the Colorful Seasons Bundle.

This is one of my favorite layouts and for whatever reason it's a college style that actually works for me.

This leaf is gorgeous if I do say so myself!

Supplies

Stamp set – Colorful Seasons, Touches of Texture

Paper – Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Copper Foil, Champagne Foil Sheets

Ink – Soft Suede, Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories – Seasonal Layers Thinlits, Linen Thread, Copper Trim, Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape, Metallic Sequins Assortment, Stampin' Dimensionals, Tombow Adhesive

How I did it

Card base Soft Suede 4 1/4x11 scored at 5 1/2

Top layer Very Vanilla 4"x5.1/4"

Middle layer Cajun Craze 4 1/8" x 5 3/8

Stamp the splatter from Touches of Texture in Crumb Cake onto Very Vanilla

Apply a strip of the narrow Washi Tape 

Lay a piece of the Copper Trim above the Washi Tape fraying one end a bit

Cut the branch from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits an layer over Washi (I trimmed it a bit)

Add a stretched and frayed piece of Copper Mesh Tape so it    will lay behind the leaf

Attach a looped length of Linen Thread

Stamp greeting in Tuxedo Black ink

Cut solid leaf from Copper Foil Sheet, the open leaf from Champagne Foil Sheet, tie together with Linen Thread bow

Paisley Birthday Card

The Paisleys & Posies Bundle in the Holiday Catalog was THE first thing I wanted to order so it was fun to get it out an play with it again today!   

Night of Navy and Whisper White is a combo that makes me happy!  With no layout in mind I stamped and die cut several of the images and just started playing.  I had a pleasing arrangement of paisley elements but need a greeting.  I thought a banner would be just perfect – so I used Birthday Banners and it has a coordinating framelit, Bunch of Banners,  so no fussy cutting!

The base of the card is Night of Navy.  I added a strip of Floral Boutique Washi Tape just above the bottom edge of the Whisper White layer.  The banner was stamped in Night of Navy, the greeting in Basic Black and is mounted with dimensionals.  I used a double thickness in the center, and just glue dots on the out ends.  I added quite a few rhinestones.  The "leaves" behind the round element are scraps from the leaf like element in the Paisley Framelits.

The flower in the lower right corner I cut twice, once from Night of Navy and another from Silver Glimmer Paper -- I filled in the center of the navy flower with a piece of the silver.

Hope you enjoyed this card!
