Autumn Splendor Two Ways

I've made a couple cards with the pretty new Simon Says Stamp Autumn Splendor die from their newest DieCember® release!...

Without looking at the name of the die, I "thought", at first glance, that this die was a Christmas die...Christmas greenery and some holly berries.  So...that's what I made my first card.  I die cut, placed different shades of green paint chips into the die cut before layering, then added some glossy accents on the berries for some fun.  I added a gold die cut and layered CZ Design Joyful for the sentiment.  The background is the pretty Simon Petal Plate die.  Here's a close up...

Then, I went and looked at the NAME of the die, and decided that I would do a more Autumny version...

I again used paint strips...the colors more on the lighter side of Autumn, and did the same as the first.  I used the CZ Design Thankful die and the Simon Wood Planks stamp for the background.  I again dotted the orange berries with Glossy Accents.  Here's a close up...

A very versatile die...and I am having so much fun with DieCember®!!

Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
