Autumn Birthday Center Step Card
It’s that time of the year again for brown cards – my favorite – lol!
I created the panels by repeatedly stamping the leaf from the “Nature” set by Momenta (lot #0005702) with Vintage Photo distress ink and Memento Rich Cocoa ink. For the lighter pattern in the center, I “stamped off” each time before stamping on the panel. For the side panels, I stamped over a “stamped off” layer with the ink at full strength.
The happy birthday die cut was cut from Gina K Desings Dark Chocolate card stock as were the mats. Recollections Heavy Weight Ivory was used for the base. A piece of raffia finished off this simple design.
Here is the template to create the base:
Here is a similar design on a traditional A2 card base:

Beautiful card. Love the browns and the technique for making your patterned papers. Adding the dark chocolate really as layering panels and sentiment really gave a great finished look to your cards.
