Directions:
 
1.     Use Copper Clay ink to stamp a large Maple leaf from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in each corner of one of the pieces of 5 ¼” x 4” Very Vanilla Cardstock (this will be referred to as the card front in the rest of these directions) and into opposite corners of the remaining piece of 5 ¼” x 4” Very Vanilla Cardstock (this will be referred to as the inside of the card in the rest of these directions).

2.     Use Old Olive Ink to stamp a large Oak leaf from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in between the Maple leaves on the card front piece and on either side of the Maple leaf on the inside card piece.

3.     Use Wild Wheat to stamp the small dots from the Pick of the Patch stamp set* to fill in the spaces between the leaves.  Repeat for the inside of the card.

4.     Use Copper Clay ink to stamp the “Autumn teaches us…..” sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set onto the 2 ¾” x 1 ½” piece of Very Vanilla (see photo for placement). Apply one large and two small copper dots from the Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the right side of the sentiment.

5.     Use a bone folder to “rough up” the edges of all three pieces of the Very Vanilla cardstock and the 3 ¾” x 2 ½” piece of Copper Clay Cardstock. 

6.     Adhere the card front piece to the front of the card and the inside card piece to the inside of the card.

7.     Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the 2 ¾” x 1 ½” piece of Very Vanilla cardstock containing the sentiment to the 3 ¾” x 2 ½” piece of Copper Clay cardstock (see photo for placement)
