Maple Leaves Journaling Card



Hi there!  I have a card to share with you today using The Maple Leaves Journaling CardScalloped Dies and Rice Paddies Stencil from Neat & Tangled.

I know it is not fall yet, but I love this stamp and wanted to play with it so bad! And Fall will be here before you know it and I will be ready ;)


My background was created with the Rice Paddies stencil. I used purple card stock and Worn Lipstick and Wilted Violet  distress ink. I then splattered that with some white acrylic paint.



I stamped the Maple Leaves Journaling Card onto watercolor paper with permanent black ink and watercolored them with Zig Clear Color Brush markers.


I then cut out the middle Scalloped frame from the Scalloped Dies and mounted that onto my background with foam tape. I cut out the Maple Leaves Journaling card and mounted that with foam tape as well.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today! Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

  3. Very pretty.
    I saw a maple tree last night that had seeds (we call them "whirlies") which were a bright red. It was quite striking to see the bright early summer green leaves and the red seeds.
