'Autumn Blessings.'

 Hi there Lovelies,

Apologies for the long time between my posts but I don't know where the time has gone !!!   Never mind, I have a card for you today.   This isn't exactly a Christmas card as I said in my last post but it is an Autumnal  'thank you' card.   The stamp design could very well be used as a Christmas card.   This was one of my most favourite stamp designs by Imagination Crafts and is now many years old, hope you like it.

Using some white card, stamp the main image onto it, using a copper embossing pad, then add some copper embossing powder.   Remove the excess powder and heat emboss with a heat gun.    Trim the image to a three and a half inch square and matt it onto a slightly larger black square.

Make a white base card from a piece of A4 card approximately just under 6" square and stamp 'Autumn Blessing' at the centre top and 'Thank you So Much' to the centre bottom of the white base card, using a black ink pad.

Matt the main image onto the centre of the white base card and using some spare black card, die-cut two corner flourishes, using the corner die. (This die I purchased some time ago).   then the two leaves from the  'Crafter's Companion'  set, given free with a craft magazine some time ago (sorry not sure which magazine it was)   Take some copper finger wax and rub gently over the corner flourishes, leaving some black showing.

Take the two die-cut black leaves and using the corresponding leaf stamps, stamp the leaf veins etc., onto the 2 black leaves, using the copper embossing pad.   Then heat emboss using the copper embossing powder (as done previously for the main deer image).   Shape the leaves with your fingers, then glue to the card front, along with the corner flourishes.

Well  that is this card finished, I do hope you like it, I just love cards which have deer in their design.   Thank you so much for visiting my blog and I'll try  not to leave it so long next time lol!!   Take good care of yourselves and stay safe.   Cheerio for now.
