Gorgeous Leaves For Pals Blog Hop

 Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is “My Happiest Season”. We really hope that you enjoy and will be inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I love fall and to make cards with leaves/foliage. I also love purple so I combined my favs to make this fall inspired card for this month's theme. I did not use a happy fall or give thanks sentiment so I can use this card for some different occasions. I did start with a Very Vanilla piece of card stock to make my background. I first blended Fresh Freesia ink over most of the card stock with a blending brush. I then stamped two large splashes in Blackberry Bliss ink from the new Gorgeous Leaves set. I ran it though the new Timeworn Type embossing folder for more texture. I stamped the bigger leaf in Blackberry Bliss and the smaller one in Fresh Freesia plus sponged some Blackberry on it around the edges. I cut them out with the matching Intricate Leaves dies along with several gold foil ones. I stamped the sentiment from Shaded Summer in Blackberry Bliss ink on Very Vanilla and cut it along with the Blackberry Bliss label one from the Potted Succulents dies. I placed some gold thread behind the sentiment and added some bling with the In Color jewels in Fresh Freesia. 

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on September 8th. Our theme will be “Focus on the Sentiment” when our Design Team creates a project showcasing a sentiment as the focal point of their project. Until then, have fun in your craft space.
