Hi Friends!
It’s time for the #180 “Birthday Celebrations” Challenge atSU-Only Challenges!
I have a few birthdays to celebrate in the fall and I
decided to play around with the watercolor tissue technique again this time
using fall colors (see this post for more details on the technique).
I also will be linking this card to The Paper Players #355Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge (Die-Cut, Banner, Birthday) and the Word Art Wednesday#292-#293 “Anything Goes” Challenge.
If you have not had a chance to stop by the SU-Only Challengesite to check out the rest of the Design Team projects or the other challenge
sites yet, I encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!
To create this card:
1). Using a silicone craft mat, tap the So Saffron, Cajun
Craze and Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink pads, lightly spritz with water, use a
plastic spoon or palette knife to stir the ink a bit and lay a piece of tissue
paper into the ink. Gently lift up the
paper and use the Heat Tool to dry the sheet.
Apply additional ink as needed and once you are satisfied with the
results and the panel is thoroughly dried, adhere to a piece of Whisper White
cardstock, “scrunching” up the tissue as you adhere it to the Whisper White
panel.
2). Once the glue has dried, rub a Versamark™ ink pad over the
ridges, apply Gold Stampin’ Emboss® Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat
Tool.
3). Use the Big Shot™ with the Leaflets Framelits™ to cut out
the leaf. Ink the corresponding stamp from Vintage Leaves with Cajun Craze Classic Ink, stamp over the entire leaf (difficult to see in the photo), gently wipe off the ink with a dry paper towel from the embossing and set aside.

4). Use the Big Shot™ with the Woodland Textured Impressions™
Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, trim the panel,
mount onto a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock and adhere to the Extra Thick
Whisper White card base.
5). Loop a bit of Gold Metallic Thread onto the card front and
add the die cut leaf with Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
6). Heat emboss the sentiment from Beautiful You with Gold
Embossing Powder, hand cut the banner points and mount onto the card front with
Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
7). Use Clear Wink of Stella® to add shimmer to the birch
trees in the background to finish off the card.
