Grateful

#TCH #27 & https://doubletroublechallenge.blogspot.com/

The colour hues challenge requires orange and green and Double Trouble requires some kind of fall project so I combined the 2 and made this card. The card was inspired by one seen on Pinterest and this is my take on that card: http://iminhaven.blogspot.com/2016/03/mini-flowers-and-leaves.html. I don’t have nesting square dies so I used a diamond set from Spellbinders. PP is from MFT and I had to go through my box to find the pad which took forever as I kept missing it. After adding the PP to the card front I cut the white piece to the size I needed and played with die placement before cutting the openings. Stamps used were all from the Triple Play Holidays from GKD. After stamping I fussy cut the wreath and the tiny leaves. Inks used were Rusty Hinge and Peeled paint. Once dry I added some coppery glitter using a Sakura pen and I also added frames around the diamond shapes. I added foam tape to the back and popped this panel up on the PP. With a green Sakura pen I added a touch of green to the small orange leaves. I kept the card CAS and hubby said he liked it so I’m happy.

    1. Thanks Gayle. I spent the rest of today trying to make some Christmas cards. I don’t feel very inspired at the moment so take any idea that comes as a bonus.

    1. Thanks Judy – I got my stamp set from Diana when she was downsizing her items. First time I’ve really had it out and used it properly.

  9. This is great and I can definitely see that fall garland in the way you set it up. I love that you used diamonds rather than squares, they’re different and just perfect for this. Beautiful work Johanna!
