Hi everyone, Yvonne here. Leaves are coloring and falling…Inspired by that thought, I made my Embossed and Inked Fall Card. Although perfect for Fall, simply add a sentiment and make it into a Thanksgiving card.
Come on and join me creating the card!
Create the Embossed Top Card Panel
First emboss the Kraft cardstock with a beautiful leaf embossing folder. To highlight the embossed surface, I used a dark brown ink pad with an ink blending tool to color the raised areas. Next, I used a soft pink chalk ink and gently rubbed over the embossed parts to give more dimensional effect.
Trim the embossed and inked cardstock into a card panel size.
Card Base
First adhere a piece of purple velvet ribbon around the embossed panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.
Using the same tape runner, mat the embossed piece on a green cardstock panel and then place the layered panel on a white card base.
Embellish the Embossed and Inked Fall Card Front
To embellish the card, I used fabric leaves and fussy cut images. Adhere the leaves onto the card using Adhesive Dots Large.
Then adhere the fussy cut images using the same adhesive dots. The yellow pumpkin was adhered using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix to add a subtle lift.
And voilá, the Embossed and Inked Fall Card is ready! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy Fall and/or Thanksgiving crafting!
