It's been a long time since I even tried to put a card together. I seemed to have a harder and harder time getting motivated after the the JustRite challenges ended. I finally managed to make one on the weekend, but I have a whole garbage can of failures, so I don't think my card making days are back, even though JustRite has returned, and brought back their Friday challenges.
I made this card with one of my older JustRite stamp sets, Autumn Words, and one of my newest JR sets, Extra Grand Holiday Sentiments. I love the font in the Extra Grand Sentiment sets!
I stamped all the leaves on one piece of cardstock using Kaleidacolor Ink pads. (Thanks to Nicole at Nika's PaperArts for reminding me how awesome those pads are.) I used Spellbinders Matting Basics A&B to cut up the stamped card and then matted each piece on brown cardstock. I put foam tape under both middle layers and heat embossed the sentiment with copper EP. So, a super simple card with the pretty ink pads doing most of the work, the only hard part was remembering to stick the layers on the right way! It looks pretty funny if they don't match up. Don't ask me how I know. ;)
I got to know so many wonderful talented card makers through JustRite. I am very glad JR is back!
