I’ve been having so much fun with the Painted Harvest Bundle (Leaf Punch and Painted Harvest stamp set). One of the most versatile images in the stamp set is the leaves which coordinate with the Leaf Punch. I used it in this card to “build the Christmas Wreath.
Today’s Color Palette
I made the wreath by stamping the leaves in Tranquil Tide ink on Tranquil Tide cardstock four times and punching them out with the Leaf Punch. Next I stamped the same ink full strength four times on Very Vanilla cardstock and four more times stamped off once. All of the leaves were then punched out with the Leaf Punch leaving me with a total of 12 leaves which I added some dimension to them by curling the leaves under a bit with the Bone Folder.
Next was the placement of the Tranquil Tide cardstock leaves on the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack. I attached the leaves by the stems only with one at the 12 o’clock position, one at 3 o’clock, one at 6 o’clock and one at 9 o’clock. Next up with the full strength stamped leaves on Very Vanilla cardstock. I tucked the stems of these under the leaf petals of the first leaves at 1 o’clock, 4 o’clock, 7 o’clock and 10 o’clock. Last are the lightest stamped leaves with again are tucked under the previous placed leaf petals at 2 o’clock, 5 o’clock, 8 o’clock, and 11 o’clock. This finishes off the circular shape of the wreath.
I finished off the wreath by stamping some berries from the Holly Berry Happiness stamp set and punching them out with the Holly Berry Builder Punch. These are attached to the wreath with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The rest of the card was completed with the sentiment from Holly Berry Happiness and wrapped with a piece of the Cherry Cobbler Double Stitched Ribbon before putting it all on a Tranquil Tide card base.
Tomorrow, I’ll be sharing one more autumn card featuring the Painted Harvest stamp set and Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper. If you missed my last two posts featuring these products used in different ways, you can view them by clicking HERE and HERE.
