Falling Leaves

Hello friends,

I can't get enough of the autumn leaves, and I'm here with yet another card with falling leaves.

Products used:

woodgrain embossing folder (company unknown), #rangerdistress inks (for the background & leaves), #lawnfawn (stitched leaves), gold acrylic paint (for spatters), #fiskars (sentiment stamp), & #vervestamps (sequins)

For the background, the debossed side of the embossing folder was inked, then run through the Big Shot. This was followed by rubbing the ink pad over the embossed area. To the half of the panel, a strip of gold cardstock was glued to one edge, the other edge was given a torn effect, and then adhered to the card base. For the leaves, a panel of watercolour paper was directly inked with various autumn colours, arranged closely together. It was then generously sprayed with water until the ink started to move and blend with the other colors. Once dry, multiple leaves were cut from the panel. I used only one type of leaf here and arranged them in a falling manner after gently folding them along the centre vein for added dimension. Finally, the whole card was spattered with gold paint, the sentiment was stamped, cut into a banner shape, adhered with foam and finished off with sequins.
