CARD DETAILS
I created two CAS cards featuring these gorgeous leaves. I first stamped a bunch of leaves in various Pawsitively Saturated ink colors and shades (all listed below). Next, I planned the placement of the leaves and sentiments.
To create the sentiments, I first stamped a sub-sentiment using light gray (Flannel) ink in the center of 4 x 5 1/4″ Neenah Solar white cardstock panels. I used sentiments from Just a Note Notes and Cozy Autumn Hugs sets. Next, I added die-cut sentiment strips from the CZ Design EZ Strips Reverse Fall set cut out using the new EZ Strips Rounded Rectangles Wafer Dies. I love the rounded corners this die creates!
After arranging the leaves on my panels, I adhered them using glue and some thin foam adhesive squares. I wanted to have minimal dimension. I also curved some of the leaves with my fingers to give them a bit a lift.
I also filled the backgrounds in using Rainbow Splash Drops – I love how these added additional interest to my cards.
