Hello Fall!

Hello, crafty friends!  I am over on the Eyelet Outlet Blog today sharing this gorgeous card that I made to celebrate the return of fall! 

I absolutely love the warm, rich colors of fall, and so I used some papers from the Echo Park Fall 6 x 6 Mega Pad.  I distressed the edges of all of my layers using Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  I wrapped the patterned paper layers with a piece of lace.

I wrapped a piece of card stock with Brown Sparkle Glitter Washi Tape and I die-cut the letter "a."  I die-cut the rest of the letters to spell "fall" from the coordinating papers.  I heat-embossed the word "hello" using Kindred Stamps Dino Dust Embossing Powder and trimmed it down. 

I dry embossed a white panel using my favorite, but unfortunately retired Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up.  I punched two 1/16" holes and placed the Leaf Brads.  I adhered my die-cut letters to the panel and then placed the hello strip.  I popped the panel up on foam squares which allowed space for the backs of the brads. 

I tied a loopy bow using some brown grosgrain ribbon paired with some linen thread.  I used a sunflower brad as a button.  Using wire snips, I removed the legs of the brad and used my hot glue gun to glue it down to the bow.   I adhered it to the front of the card.
