Honey Bee Stamps Autumn Bouquet Card

Hello! I'm back with more card inspiration showcasing new products from Honey Bee Stamp's Heartfelt Harvest Release. I wanted to create something with really rich, warm fall colors for a dramatic look.  I'll share the colors I used to achieve this pretty fall color palette and how I used Distress Oxide Ink and an embossing folder to get a textured leaf print. 

This card started with the leaf print you see as the background.  This is very easy to create.  I applied Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide Ink directly to the inside of the Fall Leaves 3D Embossing Folder.  You can tap or swipe the ink pad right onto the folder.  Add a card stock panel into the folder carefully so you don't smear the ink. When you run the folder through a die cutting machine, the ink will get impressed into the card stock.  The card stock I used for this card is a very saturated mustard yellow. I love the contrast between the two colors.  

Next I created a nice full bouquet to be the focal point of this card.  I used a few of the dies from the new Lovely Layers Autumn Bouquet set.  I die cut these from white card stock and then used small blending brushes and Distress Oxide ink to color.  (Seedless Preserves, Fossilized Amber, Pealed Paint, & Forest Moss)

I arranged the bouquet on a strip of patterned paper from the Pinstripes & Polka Dots paper pad.  I used a greeting from the Heartfelt Hello stamp set. To finish off the design, I added a twine bow and a few gold pearls from the Harvest Pearl sticker pack.
