Fall Into Autumn with Rachel Vass Designs

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing more inspiration from the

October 2021 Release from

Fall Into Autumn

Such a pretty autumnal set with plenty of images to choose from!

I had a plan in mind.  I wanted to match some new fall paper that

I had. Let me show you how I made my mini slimline card!  I thought that

watercoloring would be the way to go on this card, so I printed out

my design onto Altenew 140lb 100% cotton watercolor paper.

I will later reprint this in order to repaint the oak leaf and to

resize the sentiment.  I used a palette of watercolors and

chose colors that matched my background paper.

I wasn't too fussy with the painting.  I was going to need 2 of these

maple leaves.  I alternated the side where I painted red.  

This was the second printing and I liked the color of the oak leaf

much better.  Also, the size of the sentiment was going to work better

as well.

Once the painting was done, I fussy cut the leaves.  I ended up painting

one extra maple leaf that I adhered inside my card.  I had resized

my sentiment so it was approximately 1" in diameter.  I cut this out

with a circle die.

I made a mini slimline card base out of some Warm Sunset card

stock from Brutus Monroe.  My based folded measures 4" x 6 1/4".

 I also die cut a stitched circle that is 1 1/2" to go behind the sentiment.  

I cut my background paper 1/8" smaller. The background paper comes

from the Pumpkin Spice Season Paper Collection from Not 2 Shabby.

I assembled my card.  For embellishments, I used a shimmer pen on

all of the leaves - even the tiny ones around the sentiment.  I placed

a couple of tiny gems around the sentiment.  Then around the leaves

I adhered some tiny gold leaf sequins.

The sparkle and shine is so pretty on those fall colors!

I hope you enjoyed my project today.  I love making fall cards!  The

season never seems to last long enough!
