Bokeh Leaves

I had this idea to try my Bokeh Dots stamp in Fall colors to create leaves. I think they turned out pretty neat….

Starting with regular Whisper White cardstock I used the Bokeh Dots stamp several times, using different autumnal colors. The colors I chose for this card were Cajun Craze, Mango Melody, and Pumpkin Pie. Using the stamped images, I ran the paper through the Big Shot with leaf dies from Seasonal Layers Thinlits. I love how they turned out!

I found the Crumb Cake bokeh dot Designer Series Paper in the Tranquil Textures pack. The perfect backdrop, I thought!

Sticking with the Colorful Seasons bundle, I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede onto Very Vanilla cardstock and cropped it out with a Stitched Shape Circle die. Then I layered it over a scalloped circle of Soft Suede from Layering Circles Framelits.

To stabilize the DSP before putting the Linen thread around it, I glued it to a matching 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ piece of Soft Suede cardstock, then adhered the whole panel to the Suede card base with Dimensionals.

While I was cutting the large leaves from the Bokeh stamped paper, I added the small leaf die in there too. I only ended up using the Mango Melody one on the inside, but I had six colors to choose from. I guess I liked the variation in color on the Mango one the best. The sentiment on the inside is from Beautiful You.

I added the same papers to the flap of the Vanilla envelope (it looks white in the photo, doesn’t it?)

I posted a very different card using the second of the Bokeh Dots stamps a couple of weeks ago. If you’d like to see that stamp and card, click HERE.
