Samantha has a beautiful card to inspire us today!

Autumn is my favorite season, and I love making cards for this cozy season! I stamped and colored the images from You Autumn Know, A Bug Deal, Bubbles of Joy and You’re Just My Type with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

I did a whole lot of ink blending for the background starting with a white cardstock base. I used the new Autumn Breeze Stencil with Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade. I pressed my embossing ink pad through the stencil and then added some clear embossing powder on top and heat set it to lock in the color.

Then I used Distress Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina for the sky. I also inked another panel with Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron before using the Stitched Hillside Borders to die cut out the layers.


Finally, I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock and then die cut it out with the Simple Wavy Banners dies.

Thank you for this beautiful Awesome Autumn inspiration, Samantha! I love how you clear embossed the stenciled leaves, so clever!
