Copper Autumn Leaves — FMS601

We had so much fun celebrating our 600th sketch at Freshly Made Sketches last week, but we are ready to share #601 with you. It comes courtesy of our OG stamper extraordinaire, Linda Callahan. Take a look at what she has for us:

I recently acquired the Autumn Leaves stamp set, and since we have been having a brutally hot August in Texas I thought it might be fun to pretend that the cooler temperatures of Fall are on the way. Please.

This stamp set, Autumn Leaves, was actually designed by one of our frequent gallery contributors, Amy Koenders, and it is fabulous! I love the leaf shapes and the sentiments, and I love the coordinating dies. It will be available in the upcoming mini catalog on September 6.

In addition to the stamp set and dies, there is some specialty dsp that will be available, the Oxidized Copper Specialty DSP. There are two different sheets — one with Pretty Peacock and one with just copper. It is gorgeous and is perfect for these leaves!

I die-cut the leaves from the specialty dsp and added some Pretty Peacock and Cajun Craze card stock for the die-cut leaf veins. A strip of copper accented dsp was added from the All About Autumn Specialty DSP collection, which is also in the upcoming mini catalog.

I applied one of the piercing dies to the bottom strip of Pretty Peacock dsp. It adds a little texture and makes the card work with the sketch better. The sentiment is from the Autumn Leaves stamp set and was die-cut with one of the coordinating dies. I love the fun shape and pierced details.

Some Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots were added as embellishments. Surprise — they’re also new in the upcoming mini catalog.

We hope you’ll join us and create your own card using the sketch! We love to see what you make as we browse the gallery each week. Meanwhile, be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has created for your inspiration.

Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!
