This time of year, my eyes are so happy with the rich colors of Fall.  The All About Autumn Suite captures these colors perfectly.  Today, I'm using the papers, stamp set and dies from this suite to create a fun Fall card that showcases these gorgeous colors.  My color theme is Basic Black, Copper Clay, Oxidized Copper, and Distressed Gold.  The Fall photo images from the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper displays these colors in abundance.   This fancy-fold card opens to show a full scene from the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper.  And the black sentiment section with leaves flips open to provide room for an additional sentiment and a handwritten message.  I used the Autumn Leaves Dies to die cut leaf shapes from Oxidized Copper and Distressed Gold Specialty Papers to give this card a very special feel.  I used a Copper Clay die cut circle to stamp an Autumn sentiment from the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set, and added Moss  The All About Autumn 6" X 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper has sold out twice, and is due back in stock the week of 30 October, so add it to your Wish List now so you have this for creating your Thanksgiving cards.   Meadow Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots as accents on my sentiment panel. Inspiration for this card came from fellow Demonstrator Rachael Tessman from StampYourArtOut.com

    The basecard for this card is Basic Black Cardstock.  It it cut at 5-1/2 X 8-/12", and scored along the longest side at 2-1/8" and at 4-1/4".  Then I used a print from the All About Autumn 6" X 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack and cut it it to 5-3/8" X 6, and then cut it into 2" strips.  For the sentiment flap, I cut a 3" X 5-1/2" Basic Black piece of Cardstock, and on the long side, I scored it at 2-3/4".  I used a 2-5/8" X 2-7/8" piece of Basic White for my sentiment under the black flap.

    Next, I used the Stylish Shape Dies to Die cut a Copper Clay stitched circle as the area for my sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and mounted the circle on Dimensionals.  Then I selected the three smallest leaf shapes from the Autumn Leaves Dies.  I cut the largest leaf from Distressed Gold 12" X 12" Specialty Paper.  For the two smaller leaves, I used the two different Specialty papers in the Oxidized copper 12" X 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack.

    After gluing the die cut leaves to my Black sentiment layer, I added dimensionals to only the right hand side of the sentiment layer, and attached it to my card front.  To complete my card, I stamped a sentiment on the inside of the sentiment layer, and added a few Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots to the front of my Sentiment layer. The sentiment for the front is from Autumn Leaves Stamp Set.  I used a sentiment from Framed Florets Stamp Set for the inside of my sentiment layer.
