Beautiful Leaves Anniversary

Hello and welcome back! I mentioned in my last post that I was behind on my cards this month. Here's another anniversary card (so many in October)!

This card was inspired by the challenge at Just Add Ink and the tic-tac-toe challenge at Paper Craft Crew (bottom row - die cuts, leaves, frames).

I love the colors in the inspiration photo so I decided to try some ink blending on the back of some vellum cardstock. I added an adhesive sheet to the back before die cutting the large leafy motif. The frame was cut using two Stitched Rectangles Dies and the vellum was attached to the back and trimmed before adhering it to the card front. 

 I had planned to make six of these cards but it was more labor intensive than I expected, so there are only two.

Have a great day, and happy stamping!
