Autumn Days | These Days Collection | Josefine vd Hoeven

Hello crafty Paperlovers,
It’s Josefine here today with a new layout that I created with the beautiful collection “These Days”
I love the fall colors and this collection is a perfect match.

I choose different design papers from the “These Days” collection and punch out different leaves from the papers. In the center of the leaves, I stitch a border with gold thread and used my sewing machine for this.

I wrapped embroidery thread around my layout several times. I placed my picture on top on the embroidery thread and made a large cluster with the leaves. I chose different die-cuts, stickers and flowers and decorate my layout with these gorgeous embellishments.

I decorated my layout with more beautiful elements from this wonderful collection. The wooden buttons, butterflies and the cute golden hearts. I love all these beautiful layers I have created with the leaves. I used a wax seal next to my photo that I made with wax and a seal stamp and decorated it with gold flakes.

I used two different alpha sets for the title “Autumn Days” I like the nice and playful effect of using different alpha sets. I cut branches from water color paper and colored them with two different colors of Distress Oxide. The colors are “rusty hinge” and “walnut stain” I placed the branches in different places between the leaves.You can also see that I made splatters with white acrylic paint and gold ink. I like how my layout turned out.

Well that’s it for today paper friends and I’m grateful you stopped by on the blog to see what I created with this beautiful collection. I hope I was able to inspire you with this Autumn layout.
Wishing you all a very happy and creative day!
XoXo, Jo
