Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we have a Tic Tac Toe board to inspire us. I have chosen the left-hand – layers, green, leaves to make my card and the Elegant Leaves stamp set and co-ordinating dies.
Colours used to make this card are:
I created the Autumnal Leaves card using the following supplies:
Golden Glow card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Golden Glow – 5½” by 3¾”
Early Espresso – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White – 4¾” by 2⅞”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Early Espresso
Using the Stone & Vine 3D Embossing Folder I embossed the 5½” by 3¾” panel of Golden Glow card. This was adhered to the Golden Glow card front.

I die cut the labels from the Nested Essentials Dies, the smaller from the 4¾” by 2⅞” piece of Basic White card and the larger from the panel of Early Espresso card. The labels were adhered together and added to the card front.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped the outline of all three leaves with Early Espresso ink, the smallest leaf was stamped twice. I used the solid infill images to add colour to each leaf. Cherry Cobbler, 2nd generation for the largest leaf, Timid Tiger for the medium leaf and 2nd generation Garden Green and Golden Glow ink for the smallest leaf. The leaves were die cut using the Elegant Leaves Dies.

I arranged the leaves on the card front, some with Liquid Adhesive and the others with Dimensionals. I added a Linen Thread bow to the centre of the group of leaves with a Mini Glue Dot.
