Happy Saturday Friends! We've made it to the weekend and I've spent this lazy Saturday crafting. I've not had much time lately to sit and relax with my papers, inks, dies and stamps so it feels good to be creative.
Today I'm sharing an Autumn card featuring the Lovely Layers Mums and Rattan Basket Die Sets from Honey Bee Stamps. I'm ashamed to say I've had these sets in my stash from last Autumn and this is the first time using them. The larger than life die cuts make a dramatic focal on a card!
I've die cut the florals and leaves from white card and ink blended shades of lilac and orange inks, the Rattan basket was cut from Kraft card. I've added shading to the basket with a medium shade of brown ink. The Lilac colors are much richer in person, no matter how many photos I took, I could not get the purples to show properly.
I've arranged the florals and used a trick to keep it all together once I liked the placement: Glad Press 'n Seal Plastic Wrap. You pick up the bits with the sticky side of the wrap and it stays together so you can place it.
Lastly, I've popped up segments of the flowers and leaves on foam pads, curled the edges of the leaves and petals and splattered everything with white Posca Pen paint. The small sentiment strip is from a pre-printed packet of strips purchased from Amazon.
That's all I have for you today. Have a fantastic rest of the weekend and I hope you find some time to get creative. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
