I love that the weather is moving toward the fall! I love, love, love the fall! I’m going to try not to put leaves on everything until winter but I’m not making any promises. LOL! This card uses a couple of different techniques – Embossed Craft Metal, Alcohol Ink Background, and Distress Ink Background.

Ranger Alcohol Inks were used on Glossy card stock to create the background.

Dark Chocolate Craft Metal was passed through the Big Shot in SU!’s Woodgrain Embossing Folder.

A background was created using Distress Inks. The leaves were created by using leaf die cuts to cut out the leaves from the background. They’re attached to the card using Glue Dots.

The background stamp from SU! For All Things Stamp Set was stamped in Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink onto Glossy card stock. “Grateful for you” was stamped over it in Early Espresso Ink and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool. It was popped up onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals

Distress Mini Ink Pads (Do you love ’em, or what!) – Spiced Marmalade, Dusty Concord, Vintage Photo and Wild Honey – were stamped onto a stamp (but it completely lost the detail so I suggest that you just stamp the mini ink pads directly onto a clear block.)
The block was then spritzed with Water and turned over onto Watercolor Cardstock.
The card stock was then dried with a Heat Tool.
Once dry, the Lawn Fawn Dream Stamp Leaves were stamped on top of the watercolors using Black Archival Ink.
Next, I took a strip of delicious
The leaves were brushed with a Clear Zig Stella Glitter Marker.
