Clean & Simple Artistic Leaves

It's that time, again...FALL! (or Autumn in some parts of the world!) This clean & simple card uses the newer Artistic Leaves stamp set in the Online Exclusives! Instead of the gorgeous rusts and golds of autumn, I used the equally regal teal colors! This neat stamp is a 2-step stamp that lends itself to some gorgeous shading and use of 2 coordinating colors! Please also take note of the new Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder in the Online Exclusives!

Measurements:

Pretty Peacock: 1/2 sheet
Lost Lagoon: 2 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Textured Wovens DSP (OE): 2 1/4" x 5 1/2" (Burlap)
Early Espresso: 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Basic White: 3 1/4" square (circle), 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 1/2 " x 3 1/4" (sentiment)

To Make This Card:

Adhere 1/2" strip of Early Espresso to wrong side of DSP piece. Then, adhere to folded Pretty Peacock card, flush with all cut edges.
Run the piece of Lost Lagoon, through the new Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder, and then adhere to card front as shown.
Die cut largest circle from Stylish Shapes Dies.
Stamp larger leaf in Lost Lagoon ink in center of circle. Stamp detail of leaf in Pretty Peacock ink. Stamp "splatter" in one of the inks. Adhere to card front with Dimensionals.
Stamp sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto strip of White.
Tie bow from Linen Thread and attach to circle, where sentiment will eventually cross.
Add the sentiment to card front with Dimensionals.
Finish inside with White layer, and stamped leave (as the front, focal point).
Finish outside with scattered Pressed Flower Motifs.
