Hello and happy Tuesday, SCT friends! It’s Dilay Nacar here for our Fall Issue Challenge Week and I’m sharing this fun, fall-themed card featuring products from Close To My Heart!

created by avematieu.com

When you’re looking for inspiration, what’s better than a color scheme challenge to get the creativity flowing?! Well, today’s card is inspired by the gorgeous challenge color scheme featured above. I’m excited to share all of the details with you here!

Supplies | Close To My Heart: Exclusive Inks, Oval Frame Thin Cuts, Leaves Thin Cuts, Thanks Thin Cuts, Stitched Lattice Background Thin Cuts; Gina K Designs: Clear Quartz Solid Sequins; Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: 3D Foam Squares; Scrapbook.com: Double Sided Adhesive Roll; Therm O Web: iCraft Ultra Brans Clear Liquid Adhesive

I used a combination of ink, stamps, dies, and specialty card stock from Close To My Heart for this card. To begin, I created a textured, white background with the CTMH Leaves Thin Cuts and Oval Frame Thin Cuts dies, adhering the leaves behind the frame, then onto the Stitched Lattice Background. Next, I die-cut ‘thanks’ in gold cardstock and the shadow in copper (rose gold) cardstock, adhered them together, then onto the frame with foam adhesive squares. 

Then I stamped each of the leaves from the Autumn is Calling stamp set with gorgeous Exclusive Inks colors: Wild Berry, Sapphire, Sangria, Desert Rose, Grape, Sundance, Cinnamon, Toffee, and Raspberry, before die-cutting them with the coordinating dies. Once complete, I arranged the leaves around the word die cut, framing it. As a finishing touch, I added some clear embellishments for a little extra sparkle!

I hope you enjoyed reading more about my card and are inspired to create, too! I always love seeing what everyone creates! Have a wonderful week!
