The Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper has several papers with gorgeous full-color designs, but there are also a few with black and white designs. One of those happens to be a black background with detailed white leaves, and it’s perfect for customizing with your own colors. I’ve colored this card with lovely Fall colors, but you could also make this a striking card for summer or spring by changing the colors to pretty shades of green.
To start, cut a piece of the black and white leaf design Rustic Harvest DSP at 5 1/4″ x 4″.
Color the leaves with Stampin’ Blend markers, making sure to put a scrap of paper under the DSP since the Blends will bleed through the paper. For this card, I used the following Stampin’ Blends — Light Cajun Craze, Light Blackberry Bliss, Dark Pumpkin Pie, Light Cherry Cobbler, and Dark Daffodil Delight. Notice that I colored similar leaves the same color, and I also left one of the leaf designs white.
When you are done coloring, attach it to a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock, then adhere to the card base of Blackberry Bliss cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″.
Use Memento ink to stamp the greeting onto a 4″ x 2″ piece of Basic White cardstock, then crop with the corresponding die. Attach to the card front with dimensionals.
Use Pumpkin Pie ink to stamp the leaf image onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock, crop, then attach to the card front as shown in the picture.
For the inside, stamp the leaf image in the upper left corner of a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Add your sentiment with memento ink; for my card, I used the sentiment from the Eden’s Garden stamp set. Attach the stamped piece to the inside of the card.
Stamp the lower-left corner of a Basic White envelope with the leaf image using Pumpkin Pie ink.
