Welcome to the July 2024 Release and Instagram Giveaway!! This month is all about celebrating the autumn season with plenty of fall goodies to sink your teeth into!! Come along, fall into autumn and join us over on Instagram for tons of inspiration and a chance to win a $50 GC to the Picket Fence Shop!!
Brenda here with you today!! I'm sharing a card that features some of my favorites from the release!! Who am I kidding? It was so difficult to choose favorites...it's all SO GOOD!!
I started by creating the backgrounds to die-cut my leaves from using alcohol inks on panels of alcohol ink cardstock. Once the panels were dry, I die-cut the Layering Flora: Fall Foliage Dies from them. I love the variation of color that the alcohol inks give the leaves!! I used the inner die-cuts for my card and saved the outline die-cuts for a future project. The leaves were die-cut again from holographic gold cardstock and I used the outline from these.
For the background, I trimmed a panel of white cardstock and dry embossed it with the Flowing 6x8 Stencil by running it through my die-cut machine with an embossing mat. I splattered it with Liquid Gold Watercolor Paper Splatter that was slightly diluted with water. Once dry, it was adhered to a panel of gingham paper from the Fun Fall Gingham Fabulously Glossy A2 Card Fronts Pack. The outlines of the leaves were adhered and the inner die-cuts were inlaid using liquid glue.
The sentiment is from the Autumn Is My Favorite Color Word Die Set. "Autumn" was die-cut once from holographic gold cardstock and three times from heavyweight white cardstock. The rest of the sentiment was die-cut from the same alcohol panels that the leaves were cut from, as well as twice from heavyweight white cardstock. They were all stacked and adhered together with liquid glue, then adhered to the center of the card. Lots of sequins from the Friends In Tall Places Sequin Mix finish off the card.
That does it for my card today!! Be sure to head over to Instagram to join in the festivities and check out the complete release in the Picket Fence Shop HERE!!
Have a wonderful week!!
