Belated congrats to Barbara! Iâm a big fan of her stuff and it was so hard to choose one card. I went with this one and converted it to an autumn leaf design while keeping the overall layout and diagonal background:
I made 3 of this card at the same time to have some more in my stash. I made the cards from white cardstock then cut slightly smaller fronts and dry embossed with the stripe folder. I stamped the leaf in sepia ink on scraps of yellow, orange, and dark red paper, then die cut then and attached to the card front using foam tape. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of white cardstock and die cut it, and a larger layer from orange paper, using circle dies from the Beautiful shapes set. I layered them together and attached with foam tape.
Hope it was a fabulous week, Barb!
USEIT2023: broke out the Vintage Leaves stamp set and also used a brand new stamp from some fall stamps I got from Amazon that arrived yesterday.

I'm more than ready to see fall...just don't deal well with heat and am thankful we rarely get over mid 90's. High 80's is high enough for me. Nice design and theme.

Love the subtle stripe bg and how it sets off the images. In your case those wonderful leaves in those wonderful fall colors. No season is better than Fall, IMHO and you certainly give me that kind of feeling with this gem. Wonderful card.
