The September Betterpress Society plates, are a lovely set of fall leaves, that impress a wonderfully irregular design - so many possibilities! I'm going to be using these a lot. My first card, was a take on one made by the talented Carissa Wiley.
I call this a Z fold card, made by simply scoring and folding the front of the card to the left. I die cut arches to go on both the outside (glued to the half fold), and a matching one to go underneath it on the inside. I used a brick stencil and some Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink to break up the plain background a little.
The leaves were all pressed onto a peachy/melon, a warm yellow and a mocha cardstock with Lisa Horton's Solid Gold metallic ink. I arranged them on either side of the arch, and also had them peeking out underneath, but adhering a few to the inside arch.
The sentiment is one of the four that are included in the set, pressed in the same gold ink on watercolour paper, and adhered with 3D foam adhesive. I added a few gold pearls to continue the glimmer. You can get a Betterpress Society subscription from The Papercrafter's Workshop.
