Here’s my first Paper Pumpkin October 2016 Alternate. The Season of Gratitude kit is really fun – 8 shaker cards with great leaf shapes and sequins. But pushing out the leaf shapes to make the shaker cards leaves (sorry) you with corrugated leaf shapes left over. So I decided to use them on a card.

The oak leaf was stamped with the “crackle” stamp from the kit in cajun craze and then I sponged it in the same colour. The maple leaf was sponged in crushed curry and the remaining leaf (no idea what that one is!) is pumpkin pie. I stamped one of the greetings from the set in cajun craze on very vanilla and then built my pile of leaves. The oak leaf is glued to the very vanilla piece and the other two are popped up with dimensionals and it’s all on a cajun craze card base. I really like the texture created with the corrugated card and sponging and also with the crackle stamp. It’s almost like a fake kissing technique.

This card fits perfectly with the current Paper Players challenge – clean and simple with a leaf.
