I used the Stampin’ Up! Love Of Leaves stamp set bundle and the Banner Year stamp set to create my card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  We’ve got a sketch challenge this week and this is what I made for it.

Here is the sketch that we’re using this week:

My card also works for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge TTTC081.  I went down the right side.

I started by embossing a panel of Cajun Craze card stock with the border die from the Stitched Leaves Dies.  I adhered the embossed panel to the front of a Cajun Craze card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I adhered a panel of Plaid Tidings 6″ x 6″ DSP to a panel of Basic Black card stock and then to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped a panel of Whisper White card stock with one of the leaf images from the Love Of Leaves photopolymer stamp set in Cajun Craze ink and then cut and embossed it with the coordinating dies from the Stitched Leaves Dies.  I cut a panel of Cajun Craze card stock with the same leaf die and then adhered the two die cut leaves together with Stampin’ Seal so that they were slightly off-set.  I cut a panel of Cinnamon Cider card stock with one of the Stitched Shapes Dies and then adhered the leaves with Stampin’ Seal to it.  I adhered the die cut circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Banner Year photopolymer stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and then cut around it with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I adhered the die cut sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Stampin’ Seal to the card front and then added a Cinnamon Cider enamel dot from the 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots pack to finish it.

I adhered a strip of Plaid Tidings DSP to a panel of Whisper White card stock to finish the inside of the card.
