For today’s card I
decided to create a Fall card using Serendipity’s Leaves Reverse Die and the All Those Golden sentiment.
I first created a
background for my card using Distress Oxide Inks in the following Fall colors…
I blended them onto
Bristol Smooth paper using my ink blending tool.
I sprinkled water onto
my background and dried it with my heat tool, added more bands of color, and
added more water. I didn’t blot the ink up with a paper towel in this case…I simply
added the water and dried it with my heat tool.
This was the result…
I love how these inks oxidize and change colors when water is added!
I then used a stitched
rectangle die to cut out an A2 sized panel to create the front of my card.
Next, I stamped All Those Golden onto cream colored cardstock and cut it out using a tag die. I mounted
the tag onto my background using foam tape. I made a small bow from
green burlap twine and added that with a button to the tag.
Next, I made another
background using the same Distress Oxide Inks and cut out some leaves using the Leaves Reverse Die. I added these to the background and tag, popping some up
with foam tape for dimension. I also tucked some of the smaller leaves under
the twine.
I added some sequins and
tiny beads to the background and tag to finish off the front of my card and
adhered this to an A2 sized cream card.
For the inside of my
card, I glued a strip from my leftover Distress Oxide background onto cream
cardstock and cut these out using a smaller stitched rectangle die. I mounted this onto an olive green mat. I
then added one of my leftover leaves as a final touch.
I hope you enjoyed my
Fall card today and are inspired to create one of your own! Thanks for visiting
and have a fantastic week!!
