Highland Heather Perfection: A Subtle Yet Stunning Leaf Design

By | November 2, 2024

Hello my Stampin’ Friends!

Happy November! November is a fascinating month! Since today is November 2, 2024, we’re currently in autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. November is known for: (1) Traditions and Holiday and (2) Thanksgiving in the US.

Inspired by Vicki Boucher’s beautiful card designs, I added my own touches to create today’s card. Her work is always inspiring!

This elegant handmade card features a delicate leaf design as its focal point – the stamp set is the Changing Leaves Bundle. The leaves have an intricate mosaic-like pattern in soft Highland Heather tones with subtle Old Olive accents, all set against a white embossed (from Changing Leaves 3D Embossing Folder) background that creates lovely texture and depth.

The design is framed with a 1/8″ Highland Heather Cardstock border, and three small sequins (from the Tinsel Gems Embellishments) add a subtle sparkle. A white twine bow (from the Baker’s Twine essential Pack) adds a graceful touch where the leaves meet at the center.

At the bottom of the card, a simple sentiment reads “a little note to brighten your day” in Highland Heather Ink, nestled on a curved white panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I used Highland Heather ink for the large leaf image, employing the stamping-off technique – stamping twice on scrap paper before applying to the inside of the card. To create a coordinated look, I added the same leaf design in Highland Heather on the envelope back.
