Autumn Leaves Cards

When the temperatures finally start to drop and it becomes easier to sleep at night it is time to make the first autumn cards!

Don’t get me wrong, I love summer but August has been crazy hot this year in Austria. It is quite a relief that the temperatures start dropping a little during the night. It makes sleeping a lot easier. And more sleep equals more creative energy that I can put into making cards.

Today I want to share 3 cards with you that feature autumn leaves.

The first two cards I made using masks, stenciling and ink blending. The masks I used are from a Stampedous stamp set with big autumn leaves. For the cards I only used the masks however, not the stamps. After I put down some ink blended background I took the masks and l laid a stencil over it to create the pattern. Then I reinforced the blending inside the masks to accentuate the leaf shapes.

The third card also features autumn leaves. Here I used two Memory Box dies and colored the leaves with ink blending. The card should portray a tree trunk with a hole inhabited by a cute owl. The owl stamp is from Lawn Fawn.

I wish you all a great start into Autumn!
