We are only a few more days away from the August - December 2020 Mini Catalog going live! Those beautiful die cut leaves a showed a few days ago will be featured in there and I thought I would hop on today since I have another Love of Leaves card that I think you will like.
This card features a number of accessories from this new mini catalog:
- I pulled my color scheme from the foil embellished Specialty Designer Series Paper, Gilded Autumn. This piece has diagonal gold foil markings with Mint Macaron - not your typical fall color but oh, so elegant!
- One of the patterns from the Wrapped in Texture Embossing folders lends interest to the Very Vanilla Layer
- I used the gold (lightest) color from the Brushed Metallic Cardstock for a skinny layer between the Vanilla and DSP and also for the little leaf die cut with the stitched piece is place. I use a post it to keep these outline and stitch dies together. You can use the inner die to just cut the stitches in the leaf shape or combine them. If you haven't seen my earlier card which shows this done as a background please check that out here.
- The larger (gingko?) shaped leaf is die cut from Mint Macaron cardstock, again with the stitched die held in place with the post it. I sponged this shape lightly with Versamark ink before dusting it with gold embossing powder and heating it, giving kind of a verdi gris look.
- I wanted to keep the ribbon light looking so I cut the finished edge from a 6" section of Mint Macaron Basketweave ribbonand pulled off some individual threads. I added the skinny edge I'd just cut off to these and used them to tie a knot and attached them ot the stems of my leaves.
- A gold embossed greeting with Gilded Gems from the Ornate Garden Suite add a few more touches of gold.
Here is a close-up of some of the details:
