I really do love fall weather but it definitely isn’t fall like where I am in southern California. It was in the high 80s today and seriously, this isn’t the type of weather I enjoy in November. If my weather app is correct, I think it’s supposed to be in the low seventies next week. I. can’t. wait.
While I was visiting my mom a few weeks ago this tree was right outside the room I set up as my temporary craft area. I loved being able to see it with all of its beautiful colors.
I started today’s card while I was with my mom and the little tree was definitely my inspiration. I die cut the leaves using the Leaflets Framelits and then sponged color all over them. When I started placing them on my paper, I decided that some should be hanging off, just as if they had fluttered down onto the paper. My white layer is embossed with the Softly Falling embossing folder and the sentiment is cut out of Basic Black using the Hello You Thinlits. It may not seem like fall but looking at my card reminds me that it really is!

Isn’t it fun when you can find a different way to use a product? Well this card is it! Using my Leaflets Framelits, I made a stencil!
Using a piece of Thick Whisper White, I created my stencil. I felt that the thicker cardstock would hold up better once I started sponging. Using my Stamping Sponges, I sponged Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry inside the stencil. The sponge left some streaks on the leaf but I really like that effect. I also sponged around the edges with Cajun Craze but I used a sponge dauber. I added a bow near the stem using two pieces of Linen Thread. My sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso using the stamp set One Big Meaning.
This card was really fun to make! Pull out your Framelits and give it a try!
