Decided to follow the lead of my stamping buddy Bonnie and enter into another challenge – Just Add Ink #473. I think this is the first time I’ve entered this challenge.
I started by stamping the background piece with various leaves from a GKD set called Stitched leaves. I used versamark ink and heat set with clear powder. I then used Distress Oxides to get some colour. I already had the 2 baskets made a long time ago and not used; as well as a gifted set of autumn leaf stickers. I placed the baskets using dimensionals and added the leaves inside them. I also added a couple of pumpkins as well. Using some metallic gold elasticized twine I tied it at the top ending in a small bow. I had gold embossed the word onto some metallic type card stock and popped it onto top of the twine. The bonus is I quite like this card myself – sometimes I don’t.

Thanks Jan – Someone gave them to me a year or so ago and I never used them until now. They are really pretty as the edges are glittered.

What a fabulous autumn creation I love how you have the full range of colours and layered your leaves up so they spill out of the basket. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week. Kim

Thanks Lisa – I had those leaves for quite a while and forgot about them. I don’t know why I didn’t use them before but they sure worked here.

Johanna, this is great! I love how the background and the “front” work together so well and give it good depth.

At first I thought it was a bit too busy but somehow it works and I’m glad others like it. It was an easy card to make considering my hands this week.
