Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is The Color Purple. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
WHAT I LOVE! Today’s card is fresh, modern and perfect for fall. The trio of leaves created with the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle (one of My Favorite Things) keep the style simple and colorful.

How do you get the leaves colored in lighter and then stamped looking like they are outlined? I really like the look! Sometimes I feel stamping my cards looks like something my Kindergarten Class would do!
Hi Jan,
The stamped image looks that way because of the type of stamp it is. The Autumn Leaves Stamp Set is part of the “Distinktive” line.
This is a Distinktive stamp set; it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images.
You can see the entire line here.
