I started my card by using one of my favorite things, Elizabeth Crafts Glitter Ritz. It’s a transparent glitter (although it comes in colors too) that you can stamp and color on without covering up the sparkle! I did a tutorial a while back on how to use it that you can find right HERE. Once my white cardstock was covered in glitter, I used the adorable Unity Pumpkin Greetings stamp set and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp my image. Next, I used my Bic Mark-Its to color my image. Any alcohol markers will work, but since I’m all about saving money, I love my inexpensive Bics!
Once my image was finished, I decided to fussy-cut some cute little leaves from a remnant of scrapbook paper I had in my stash. I randomly “sprinkled” the leaves onto my image and then glued them down with Zip Dry adhesive. I mounted my image on two different patterned cardstock sheets and then finished it off with some natural jute.
Here’s a list of the supplies I’ve used for this project:
Elizabeth Craft Designs Microfine Glitter
Scor-Pal Tape, 2.5 by 27-Yard
White Cardstock
Memento Ink, Tuxedo Black
Advanced Tape Glider
Zip Dry Glue
BIC Mark-Its 36 Markers
Inkadinkado Clear Stamp Blocks
Jute Twine

Beautiful card! So perfectly autumn-ish and love the touch of falling leaves! Fussy-cutting can be a real pain but it really does add something special to any project. 🙂

Love it! We never outgrow glitter, do we. The paper and jute are wonderful with this image. Very pretty.
Silly autocorrect…it's supposed to say tutorial, not video.
