Hello everyone! Martha Lucia here to share with you a fall card that I made for Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps using colors and texture with inks.

The process to make this card was very simple. I just used Very Vanilla cardstock to make all the pieces and Rinea Foiled Paper to some decoration leaves.

I cut the base using very vanilla cardstock in regular size A2. The I cut a second layer with the same dimension 4-1/4″x5-1/2″.

I inked the second layer directly with the ink pads using different tones of brown. I used Sand Castle and Over Coffee from Catherine Pooler. All this inks are available in Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps Store.

When I was satisfied with the ink over the cardstock, I embossed the same piece with a wood-grain embossing folder. And after pass through the big shot I applied a dark chocolate ink on the created embossing, directly with the ink pad. I used Icing on the Cake color of ink.

I resized the layer with a die cut to create the stitch on the borders and pasted directly over the card base.

In a separate piece of very vanilla cardstock I stamped some Maple Line Leaf images and the Line Leaf 1 images and fussy cut them with my scissors.

To create the different colors on the stamped images, I just applied the ink with sponge daubers and stamped directly over the cardstock.

To finalize my card I stamped the Thank you Sentiment using Mandarin Spice from Catherine Pooler Inks and added some Prima leaves that I cut in two different tones of Rinea Foiled Paper, the Turquoise/Turquoise Starstruch Foiled Paper and Marigold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper .

I arranged all the leaves with glue dots and some dimensionals.

Thank you for stopping by!
