Good Monday morning. Today I’m sharing a fall leaf wreath card using the Rubbernecker Stamps 3 Maple Leaves and framed using the Nested Rectangle X Stitch set. The wreath base was cut using the Nested Circles set. The sentiment is from the Splatter Leaves set. I colored the leaves using Distress Inks and then embossed them using Versa and clear embossing powder. I love how the clear embossing brightens the colors on the leaves and that they pop off the white background.
The Frame
- Line up the second and third sized dies from the Nested Rectangle X Stitch set together on the magnetic platform.
- Place the white cardstock over the dies and run through the die cutting machine.
- Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame and attach it to the card base.
The Fall Leaf Wreath
- Cut the leaves using white cardstock.
- Use mini applicators to apply Shabby Shutters, Spiced Marmalade and Fired Brick ink to the leaves. Check out my short leaf coloring video on YouTube to see how I color my leaves. You can also see my step by step picture tutorial here.
- Apply Versa and clear embossing powder to the leaves and heat.
- Cut a wreath base using two dies from the Nested Circles set.
- Gently bend and form the leaves with your fingers and attach around the wreath base using glossy accents.
- Apply strips of mounting tape all the way around the wreath base and attach it to the card base.
- Finish by stamping the sentiment on white cardstock using Versafine Clair Verdant ink and attach it to the wreath using pieces of mounting tape.
I had such a good time making this fall leaf wreath card. It is fun figuring out how to place the colors on the leaves to make each one a little different from the other.
