Hi Friends!
I can always use a few more “thank you” cards in my stash so I
decided to create a fall themed card using Vintage Leaves (along with the
coordinating dies), Timeless Textures and Painted Harvest to create a Clean and
Simple/Mixed Media card.
I also am participating in the Fab Friday #124 Color Challenge
along with the Dies R Us #84 “Anything Fall” Challenge.
If you have not had a chance to stop by the SU-Only Challenge
site to check out the rest of the Design Team’s samples or the other challenge
sites yet, I encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!
To create this card:
1). Tap the Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango Classic Ink pads
onto a silicone craft mat, spritz lightly with water and press a piece of
Whisper White cardstock into the ink, left and re-press the paper in the
ink. Repeat the above steps with a bit
of Fresh Fig Classic Ink and once you are satisfied with the colors, dry the panel
with the Heat Tool.
2). Ink the leaves from Vintage Leaves with Fresh Fig Classic
Ink and stamp onto the panel created in Step 1.
Die cut the leaves with the coordinating Leaflet Framelits™.
3). Using images from the Timeless Textures stamp set, stamp
the grid image with Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink several times onto a piece of
Whisper White cardstock. Stamp the polka
dot image over the grid image a bit using Tangerine Tango Classic Ink and add a
bit of distressing using Fresh Fig Classic Ink with the small splatter
stamp. Trim the panel and mount onto a
piece of Tangerine Tango cardstock, trim once more and mount onto a piece of
Fresh Fig cardstock. Mount the entire
card front panel onto the Extra Thick Whisper White card base.
4). Use Metallic Gold Thread to create a large loop (adhere to
the center area of the card) and layer the long oak leaf directly to the card
front and add the other two using Stampin’ Dimensionals® (tucking some of the
leaves under the metallic thread).
5). De-static a piece of Fresh Fig cardstock with an Embossing
Buddy®, ink the sentiment from Painted Harvest with Versamark™ ink, apply
Stampin’ Emboss Gold Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Trim the sentiment and add to the card front
with Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
6). Finish off the card by applying a bit of shimmer to the
leaves with the Clear Wink of Stella® Pen.
