Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 36 - Cajun Craze

Happy Friday everyone. It's time for Week 36 of the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge. This week we are showcasing Cajun Craze, a beautiful warm color perfect for Fall. With the new season just around the corner, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to create an elegant clean and simple card to help us get ready for Fall.

One of my favorite things about the Changing Leaves Bundle is that it has all the pieces to create beautiful cards. The detailed embossing folder is perfect for backgrounds and I coordinates perfectly with the detailed die cuts. The stamp set has wonderful sentiments that work for a variety of occasions to help finish off the design. To help showcase Cajun Craze, I paired it with Very Vanilla cardstock and Gold Foil sheets to create a simply elegant design.

Detailed Leaves & Sprig die cut with the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder Dies

To create this simply beautiful Fall card, I started by embossing the Very Vanilla cardstock card front with the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder. I love the deep, detailed impressions this embossing folder adds to the cardstock and it was perfect for the background of this card design. I then die cut several detailed leaves from Cajun Craze cardstock to help add some texture and detail to the design. To add contrast and help step up the design, I die cut one of the smaller leaf sprigs as well as the detailed sprig from the Gold Foil. I stamped the sentiment with Cajun Craze Classic ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and then die cut the sentiment out with one of the coordinating dies. I also cut another die cut from Cajun Craze cardstock to layer behind the sentiment label. I attached the leaves to the card front and then added the layered sentiment over the top with Stampin' Dimensionals to add some depth to the design. To finish off the card, I added two small Gold pearls to the sentiment labels for a touch of bling. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore using Cajun Craze in your upcoming projects. It is a perfect color for Fall and the upcoming holidays.
