Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

We Are Casing Libby Fens Today!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! We are almost at the end of casing each of our team members. This week is all about Libby Fens and I chose this card from her blog to case:

I really loved the layout and layers on Libby’s card and decided to go with a fallish theme on my card below, using the Autumn Leaves Bundle:

The leaves all look so pretty with the color choices of Calypso Coral, Petal Pink and Lost Lagoon and I added a few leaf veins with the neutral color Copper Clay. This was actually one of our past color challenges. I also added a pretty frame using the Radiating Stitches Dies:

Stampin’ Up! Products Used:

• Stamps: Autumn Leaves
• Inks: Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Lost Lagoon
• Cardstock: Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Lost Lagoon, Basic White

Card Recipe:

• Card Base: Lost Lagoon Cardstock 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
• Layer 2: Basic White Cardstock 5″ x 3-3/4″. Stamp the leaf vein image a few times with Lost Lagoon Ink without reinking for a background image. Glue to card front flat.
• Layer 3: Basic White Cardstock cut with the large frame die from the Radiating Stitches Dies. Glue to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
