Autumn foliage

Today I wanted to share an Autumn card I made recently using the Heartfelt Creations matching die cuts and stamps.  Here on the West Coast, Fall is late to come and lasts a while, and I do enjoy the beauty of the leaves.


For this card, I once again used the letterpress technique with a Tim Holtz embossing folder--inking up the folder before embossing the paper, and then after embossing the paper I ran it through the Cuttlebug machine in the plates to flatten it out, so you have the impression a bit, but not as noticeable.

This card is posted on the Heartfelt Creations Blog right now, along with more complete instructions, if you would like them.  There are also a ton of other Autumn and Winter cards prepared by the design team--I hope you'll check them out!
