Beginning with a 12z12 sheet of Slate Cardstock. Cut the cardstock to measure a 4 1/4x 5 1/2 card when folded. Open the card so it lays flat and using a scoring blade score the front side of the card every 1/2 inch till you reach the middle of the card. Flip the card over so that the scored marks are raised on the front. Then using a distressing sponge (such a Tim Holtz's) and slate ink in a swirling motion gently go over the front of the card. The ink will cover the raised areas making them look darker and like a gray wooden fence. Also ink around the entire edge of card to give it a finished look.
Step 2. Using two pieces of B&T Duo papers from the Huntington Paper packet. Cut the piece of the left 3/4 x 5 1/4. Then cut the piece of the right 1/14 x 4 1/4. Using a pair of scissor cut the bottom to look like banners. Then using the distress sponge again ink the edges of the paper with Barn Red.
Step 3. Cut a 3x2 piece of Bard Red Card stock from the Hunting paper packet and a 2 3/4 x 1 3/4 lighter piece from the packet as well. Ink both pieces with Barn Red.
Step 4. Cut two leaves from the Art Philosphy Stamp set that comes with the Art Philosphy Cricut Cartidge. Then stamp your sentiment on the piece of Colonial White paper using Barn Red Ink. ( choose the Congrats stamp from the 4 My Friend Stamp set). Then adhere the banners to the base of the card. Do not over lap them. Then adhere the colonial white paper to barn red paper. Then adhere Artistian Studs to the colonial white paper as shown above. Next, using pop dots (or foam tape) on the back of barn red card stock adhere it to the front of the card. Then adhere the leaves with part of them underneath the sentiment.
Now you have a card that is perfect for a fall wedding or any other occasion you may be celebrating this fall!
Happy Paper crafting!
