If Celebrating Sunflowers and Forever Fern are my most-used new sets from the Stampin’ Up! 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, Love of Leaves is the set I reach for most often from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.
Chris Smith was my inspiration for this card (practically the same as hers), because that beautiful Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper was perfect! Not your typical fall colors, of course, but that’s the appeal of this paper for me — in addition to all that foil!
The leaves on the inside of the card are stamped in Mint Macaron — each one stamped once and then again without re-inking.
The embossing on the leaf die-cut is done by lightly sponging a tiny bit of VersaMark ink on the leaf. After you sprinkle on the embossing powder and flick the back of the leaf, rub off (with your finger) the areas that are too heavily powdered. You don’t want the leaf to be too gold.
Sorry to say the white twine is retired. If you’re like me, you have a supply to will continue to use it. In fact, although I typically sell all my retired products, I have learned not to sell the twine because it’s so essential in my stamping.
Later this week I’ll show you how I re-interpreted this card for my husband’s birthday in August. Please come back!
