Autumn Splendor Sneak Peak

autumn splendor

I have to begin this post by saying that this card is much prettier in person than shown here! The leaves have been embossed using the cracked glass technique. They are very shiny and dimensional, but it is hard to get a picture that does them justice, especially with my limited photography skills.

Does the design layout look familiar? I used the same design layout as the previous From the Crypt card.  Designing from a sketch can help you out of a creative slump or help you throw together a card in just a few minutes time. In theory, anyway; that is until you get the brilliant idea to stamp and cut out individual leaves and emboss each 3-4 times, but I digress. It was worth it though, no? I think it is a card worthy enough for a fabulous friend.

Speaking of FABULOUS! How about this gorgeous paper and new set from the upcoming Holiday Mini? The paper is called Autumn Meadow and it is yummy. I love every single design from this offering. I can’t wait for you to see the new mini coming your way in just a couple of weeks. It is 40 pages full of amazing new stuff!
