Stampin' Up! Early Espresso

 

This week, is week 22 in the Colour Creations blog hop and this week we continue our journey through the existing Stampin' Up! core colours, working in alphabetical order. This week our feature colour is  Early Espresso, a member of the Neutrals family of colours. Early Espresso  as the name would suggest is a dark brown coffee colour colour.

 For my card this week I have used many of the new products from the All About Autumn suite of products from the current mini catalogue. It's a beautiful suite of products featuring Autumn Leaves and the colours , Copper Clay, Very Vanilla and Copper foil to name a few. All of which team beautifully with Early Espresso, this week's feature colour. 

The Very Vanilla card base has been embossed using the new embossing folder, Distressed Tile. This has been mounted onto a piece of Early Espresso card. 

Two different pieces of the beautiful All About Autumn paper have been die cut using two of the Distressed Circles dies and mounted onto the embossed Very Vanilla panel. 

Then a variety of the leaves have been stamped and die cut using Very Vanilla card, Early Espresso and Crumb Cake ink and the Autumn Leaves bundle. A smaller maple leaf has been cut using  Early Espresso card. The veins of the larger leaves along with a couple of the smaller leaves have been die cut using the Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper. It makes it much easier to apply the leaf veins by using Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets.

The sentiment from So Sincere has been stamped in Early Espresso onto Very Vanilla card and then die cut using one of the dies from the Autumn Leaves dies.

Finally a bow using (the quite hard to tie) Copper ribbon and a few Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins have been added.

Whilst stamping and cutting the various leaves I ended up having an extra so I have used it in the inside of the card. This time using Copper Clay ink and Early Espresso card.

Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Sharon Davern who loves to share her fancy fold creations with us. I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation.
