When Autumn Leaves Start To Fall

When Autumn Leaves Start To Fall that's what I called Autumn Blessing. Finally my orange cards are coming to good use. I have loads of them, but all this while those orange cards are seated untouched in my stacks of cards.

We don't have the four seasons in Malaysia. No Autumn leaves are gonna fall. But since we have sun and rain all through the year, you see falling leaves all through out the year too.

WHEN AUTUMN LEAVES START TO FALL

I used a darker shade of orange card as base. I then layered it white a black card and a lighter shade of orange card. Both cards are embossed using the Glitter Girls Fanciful board.

I then stamped and die cut three different shapes of autumn leaves using an orange card, a lighter shade of orange and a yellow card.

For the sentiment, I die cut and embossed using a die that came along with my Spellbinder's Sapphire and tied a red ribbon to it. And finally I stamped Autumn Blessings as my sentiment for this autumn leaf card.

Black And White Of The Day

Today I decided to go with a monochrome theme and made a black and white birthday card. Two colours that I have never combined before. Usually I only used either a white or black card (as base) never both.

But there is always a first time to everything right. At the starting of the project I was quite unsure, feeling that the card will turned out to be dull and boring. Almost switch to another colour.

But my fingers kept on going. I used the white cardstock as the base. Then I die cut 4 black leafy spirals using my Spellbinders Sapphire and join them up to form a square. Then I stamped some flowers with black ink and this time I hand cut them. I glued the flowers at the middle of each leafy spirals. Then glued white pearl at the center of each flower.

For the sentiment, again I die cut a Happy Birthday greeting and added a white pearl at the top for the added touch.

At the end of my 'monochrome project' I can't deny that I am actually surprised that it turned out not as how I imagined it at first. It doesn't look dull and boring after all.

Since it turned out to be a successful project, I definitely will try making more monochrome cards in future.

Until my next post....always Craft With Love
