Hello friends! Happy Wednesday, I hope your week is going good so far. Friday is coming! This is Design Team member Crystal Komara here with you today sharing a fun way to use Layering Plate B of the Autumn Breeze Layering Plates.

Card details:
The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. Using a separate sheet of this same white cardstock I die cut Layer Plate C of the Delfina Layering Plates (retired) which became the background. I cut this twice (because I was making two cards):

Next I die cut Layer B of the Autumn Breeze Layering Plate four times, one each in red, orange, yellow and green cardstock. This would give me all the leaves I needed to complete these two cards. (*Note, I actually had enough leaves to create a third card).

I created a circular frame to act as a guide to adhere all the leaves to. I did this by placing a smaller circle die inside of a larger one:

Then I began to adhere the leaves to the frame in a circular pattern using a Tombow adhesive runner:

Using the Thanks Honey Script dies and the Blessed Honey Script dies, I die cut the larger shadow sentiment from white cardstock and the thinner sentiment from gold glitter cardstock using the 6″ x 6″ Holiday Glitter pad.

I hope you have enjoyed this different way to use the Birch Press Design layering plates. Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
