Autumn sparkles with Ashlee

Hi friends...

Ashlee here with you today and I have an autumn inspired card to share featuring beautiful sparkles and earth sparkles from WOW! embossing!!

I love adding a bit of bling to my cards and you certainly can't go past the glitters that are available from WOW! because they are stunning....

This card is smaller than a normal size card as I made it using a brand new notecard sized die from Catherine Pooler, such a fun size to create with!!

To do the beautiful leaves I used a couple pieces of double sided adhesive that I adhered to cardstock.

I then removed the protective sheet and covered one in the Sparkles and one in the Earth sparkles.

Once these were entirely covered I tipped off the excess and burnished it with my fingers to make sure all the glitter was stuck to the adhesive well. These glittered sheets were then what I used to die cut all the leaves!!

The card base was done by die cutting a piece of watercolour cardstock from the notecard layers die and then using some CPD inks (Icing on the cake, Mandarin spice and Sauna) I made an autumn coloured blend into the centre, I then used some Icing on the cake ink mixed with a little water to do some ink splatters...

The centre I wanted to leave lighter so I could add a sentiment of thanks!!
