Thank you for joining me today for the All Star Design Team Video Class Bundle Blog Hop for November 2023. At the start of each month, each of creates another project using the featured suite of products to give you even more inspiration. Here is my additional All About Autumn Suite project.

I decided to utilise the leaves I had left over from my first project to create this card. There were quite a few! The mixture of colours comes directly from the colours listed on the DSP: Early Espresso, Copper Clay, Moody Mauve. Don't they look attractive all lined up in a row on the roll of glue dots?

A layer of Copper Clay card is textured using the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder to form the backdrop for the leaves. Before arranging the leaves I wrapped a couple of lengths of shiny copper ribbon around the layer to highlight the copper elements in the DSP and then added it to an Early Espresso card base.

I knew that I wanted a wreath arrangement on my card and I decided to use the same shape leaf throughtout, loosely placing them in a circle over the copper ribbon. The die set includes some elements to create the veins/skeletons for the leaves and I have utilised them as twiggy sprigs poking out from under my wreath.

The sentiment is stamped using Early Espresso ink and die cut using a frame from the set, which is than layered onto a smaller frame cut from DSP. The Speckled Dots are flecked with copper and I couldn't resist adding a few to finish off the card.

Over the last couple of days we have enjoyed some beautiful sunshine and the leaves on the trees around me are all turning. I am surrounded by some truly wonderful autumnal shades. It's been fun capturing autumn on a card! I hope you feel inspired to use this suite with too. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
