Earlier than choosing up the Harmony & ninth Autumn Inlay Die, I needed to choose the right coloration palette! I really like utilizing social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest to save lots of coloration mixtures that encourage me. As I flick thru my feeds, I maintain an eye fixed out for coloration combos that follow me. The Swatchbook Dies from Harmony & ninth make it really easy to arrange my coloration swatches. I reduce out strips of card inventory within the colours that match the inspiration, making a helpful reference for my inventive tasks.
To get began I appeared by way of my swatchbook and settled on the colour mixture of Powder, Midnight, Cayenne, Honeycomb, and Grapefruit. With my coloration palette set, it was time to dive into the die-cutting course of!
Utilizing my Spellbinders Platinum 6, I first reduce out a full 4 1/2 by 5 1/4 panel of Powder – this was my card base. After popping all of the items out, I glued the Powder base to a white card inventory panel to present me one thing sturdy to stick to.
Subsequent, I moved on to the Honeycomb coloration. I rigorously popped out the suitable leaves and glued them onto the bottom, positioning them good like a puzzle. From there, it was just about a rinse-and-repeat with the remainder of the colours. I adopted the identical course of for Midnight, Cayenne, and Grapefruit, ensuring to maintain the design balanced.
For the veins of the leaves, I made a decision to make use of a matte gold card inventory to present it that additional shine. The metallic contact provides a stupendous distinction and elevates the general look of the cardboard.
After all of the leaves had been in place, it was time to construct out my sentiment. Utilizing the Extra to Say Dies from Harmony & ninth, I reduce out three layers of the “you’re so very form” dies in white cardstock and one layer in the identical matte gold cardstock I used for the leaf veins. For extra dimension, I reduce out two layers of the shadow die—one in white and one in Midnight. After gluing the sentiment collectively, I adhered it to the leafy card base.

I hope this evokes you to embrace the great thing about fall in your card making tasks. Seize your provides, discover your coloration palettes, and let your creativity shine. Comfortable crafting!
