Card #3 using the sketch challenge from Sunday Stamps is an Autumn card that shows off Stitched Leaves Dies. I used Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper for the layers over a Very Vanilla Thick Cardstock base. Take a close look at the stitching around and within the Copper Foil leaves!…
The Pals’ Blog Hop put me into a Fall mood! See it HERE if you missed it! I’m continuing my fall-ish theme with DSP from Gilded Autumn and the Gathered Leaves Dies. It’s another super simple design that let’s the DSP shine (literally, as it is embossed with gold and…
