Hi friends! I hope you are well and had a good weekend!

This week we have a Fall Moodboard theme att the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. I hope you will join us! Don't miss the gorgeous project by Alison Bomber, our October guest designer. 

I made a card this week.

I was inspired by the colors of the mood board, the clear surfaces, the rain and of course also the leaves. I made a clear card with a fall wreath and a rainy background. Clear cards are always a challenge to photograph and even more so with dry embossing included.

I die cut flowers, leaves and branches with Tim Holtz Vault Foliage Wreath set. The pieces were die cut from left-over inky or watercolored paper, kraft stock paper, Simon Says Stamp cardstock and kraft cardstock.

Some of the leaves were die cut from this paper, which I found in my scrap box. It was stamped with Simon Says Stamp Reverse Crackle Background and three shades of brown ink.

Sand the edges. Shape the pieces with Tim Holtz Shaping Kit. Glue together.

I used a Simon Says Stamp Clear Acetate Card for the base and embossed in in the Soft Snowfall folder.

Color the inside of the front of the card with alcohol ink.

Glue the two branch pieces to the background and then add the leaves and flowers on top. Some of the flowers were adhered with foam tape.

I added Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Rainbow and Gunmetal Gems here and there.

The Vault Foliage Wreath set has such great details.

Tuck the leaves in here and there and add the flowers on top.

The sentiment was stamped with a sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Sketched Leaves set, from the new Sweet Wishes release. Ink the edges and add some lace trim underneath.

I really like the little acorns.

The dry embossed dots are hard to photograph, but you can see them better here.

The card has some dimension as you can see here.
