Welcoming November...

Hi there,

I created a fall card to share with you today. I always love this time of year.  The tree leaves are turning into beautiful fall colors and the temps are cooler. As inspiration for this card, I used the fall color of leaves that I see so many of these days here in North Carolina. I wanted the card to feel earthy and warm.  I used a lot of texture and I wanted the card to be as warm as the sentiment, “Gratitude.”

Gratitude by Karen Jiles Supplies Cardstock: Bazzill, Close to my Heart; Patterned Paper: K and Co., Making Memories; Metal Charm: Making Memories; Corrugated Board: Zutter; Flowers, Leaves: Prima; Ink: Ranger; Other: Ribbon

Tip: Creating texture in card making can be achieved in various ways.  I distressed the edges and used corrugated board. I also used flowers and leaves with dimensional elements to balance out the card.

Happy Fall to you,

Karen
