Check out this simple handmade card for fall; books, leaves, scarves and apples really bring the vibes.
Today’s card creation is from our designer Shelly, who has a fun and simple design for us, ensuring we have plenty of inspiration for our Autumn cards. We adore here use of the Nested Scallop Circle Dies to create elements that frame the image. It just goes to show that adding a few extra simple touches goes a long way. Follow along as Shelly gives us some fall inspiration that’s simple and cozy.
- Start with stamping the images (books w/scarf, apples, leaves) from the 37044 Cozy Chapters stamp set onto marker friendly white paper using black ink.
- Color images using alcohol markers.
- Use the 37044D Cozy Chapters coordinating die with the colored images.
