Welcome to InKing Royalty’s August Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by popular songs – this month’s song is “Dog Days Are Over.” While we still feel the heat from a long, hot summer, August is a perfect time of year to start planning our Fall-themed cards. The projects in our hop will showcase Autumn, back-to-school and warm colors – you might even see a dog or two! We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I’ve created a fall-themed card for today’s hop featuring the Rooted in Nature stamp set!
Here’s a closer look at the beautiful Copper Foil leaves I added using the Leaf Punch:
I created the wreath background using my Stamparatus – such a fun technique! And isn’t the color combination beautiful? I took color inspiration from one of the new Designer Series Papers that will be available in the Holiday Catalog – coming soon!

Gasp! This is beautiful, Julie! Everything about it is just right.
Hi Julie! This is a perfect fall card. I was just thinking about whether I needed a new fall door wreath this year or keep the one I have. I love the way the Subtle folder was inked for added texture. That is my favorite folder ever!

A great card Julie. The colors are beautiful. I’m falling more and more in love with Gray Granite everyday.
Beautiful card. I like the fall colors in the wreath, and the copper leaves are elegant. The copper ribbon brings everything together and the result is stunning.
Absolutely gorgeous! I love the colors, the leaves, and the layout of the words! A real winner!
