Hello! Christina here to share an autumn-themed card that I designed by combining an unexpected trio of die sets. I chose the Tufted Bird from the Block Print collection and nestled him in some fall foliage that I created with the Rosebud Arch and Mixed Berry Contour Layers die sets. These very different sets combined beautifully and make for a lovely autumn card. Let’s take a look at how it came together.
I started by die-cutting the elements for the Tufted Bird from white cardstock. I used a variety of Distress Inks and small blending brushes to ink up the diecut pieces and then assembled them, securing them with glue.
Next, I die-cut the elements from the Rosebud Arch and Mixed Berry die sets from more white cardstock. I used the same process for these diecuts as I did for the Tufted Bird. I inked all the pieces with Distress Inks and then assembled the Mixed Berries components.
For the background panel, I inked a pale jade color in the center of an A2 card panel with a very light hand and let the edges softly blend out. Then I lightly spattered the panel with the same ink color for a little texture and interest.
Lastly, I arranged the foliage and berries on the background panel and added the tufted bird nestled in the center. The final detail was to stamp a simple sentiment from the Sentimental Banners set from Poppy Stamps using a chocolate brown ink.
Thank you so much for checking out my autumn-themed card that I created by mixing and matching some unexpected die sets. See you again soon!
