Fall Foliage Card

Supplies:

  • Plain cream colored greeting card, any size
  • Brown, cream and green cardstock
  • Small piece of purple tissue paper
  • Palm tree stamp
  • Magazine cutouts or purchased embellishments
  • Brush markers (if you do not have brush markers use light green, dark green and brown ink pads)
  • Paper craft tag
  • Glue stick
  • Scissors

Instructions:

1. Cut the brown cardstock to fit the front of the greeting card. Glue to card.

2. Next, cut the green cardstock to fit the card only about 1/2" smaller than the brown cardstock on each side. Center on card and glue on top of the brown cardstock.

3. Cut a small rectangle of the tissue paper, center and adhere to the green rectangle on the card. Cut embellishment to desired size and place in the top left corner of the card. I found my tropical location embellishment scraps from Jo Ann Fabrics.

4. Stamp two images of palm trees on the cream cardstock. I used brush markers as my ink instead of stamping pads. This allowed me to color the palm tree with three different colors (light green, dark green and brown). Cut out the palm tree images and glue them to the front, center of the card on top of the purple tissue.

5. Finally, write your message on the paper tag and adhere to the bottom right corner of the page.
