This card is entirely different from the last clean and simple one I shared, with lots of stamping, watercolouring and stencilling to create an Autumnal look.
and despite inking and spritzing the stamps with water repeatedly, to create a watercolour look, the detail is still amazing
I trimmed Distress Media Heavystock to create a 4.1/2" x 6.1/2" panel. I arranged the leaf images from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Pressed Foliage to fit on the panel, inked with Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide ink, spritzed with water and stamped on the panel. Without cleaning the stamps, I inked sections of the stamps with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide, spritzed with water again and stamped. I then repeated with Aged Mahogany Distress Oxide ink. I allowed the panel to dry, inked the stamps with Versamark, heat embossed with Ranger Superfine Clear Embossing Powder and flicked on drops of Distress Resist Spray Stain.
I applied Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks through the Decayed Layering Stencil using mini round blending tools.
I fixed a strip of Tim Holtz/Sizzix Sticky Grid Sheet to the panel, removed the top cover sheet, arranged the Sizzix Alphanumeric 1" Thinlits on the sticky surface and die-cut.
I fixed Tim Holtz/Sizzix Adhesive sheets to scraps of white card, die-cut the letters again 4 times and fixed the panel to white card.
I darkened the edges of the letters with Ground Espresso Distress Marker and puzzle pieced them back into the spaces
I stamped one of the leaves on to a scrap of Distress Mixed Media Heavystock using the same technique as before and fussy cut leaving a border around the edge
I fixed White Eclectic Elements and Gold thread to the card and added the leaf image, popped up on Tim Holtz/Sizzix Mini Foam Adhesive to create dimension.
I added Idea-ology Quotations and matted the panel on to Idea-ology Metallic 2 Kraft Stock and a 5" x 7" card blank covered with brown Classic Kraft Stock, sanded back to reveal the kraft core.
Toodle-oo for now
