Autumn Collage Card Set

 

Hi Junkies, it's Holly posting today.  Is it feeling like fall where you are yet?  This week the early morning temperatures have been down around 67 and 66, and it feels wonderful!  Then it heats up to 97 and reminds us that it's still summer here.  LOL  I've been enjoying the cool temps by walking outside early in the morning while the sun is rising.  The leaves are not changing yet, but wouldn't it be wonderful if our leaves could look like the ones on these cards?  

I pulled out some distress ink pads and randomly inked up the beautiful new Leaf Collage stamp from Technique Junkies.  I love all these color combinations!  I then paired them with different sentiments that I stamped on vellum.  I have listed the stamps and inks used in the pictures below.

Leaves Turn

Hello crafty friends, Kia back with you this week to share this beautiful stamp called Modern Foliage. When I was thinking about my card the only plan was it was going to be in blue. I did not think about the other colour until I was making it.

In my mini Misti, I first stamped the background panel, which I had die cut with my stitched rectangle die, using VersaFine Clair Ink in Paradise. My original plan as to use a blue card base, but that was changed as I went to a white card base. 

 Using my Life Changing Brushes I went around the edges of the panel again using the Paradise Ink. I then die cut the smaller middle piece and stencilled using A Colorful Life Designs Scribbled Lines Stencil, then attached it to the card panel. 

For the top piece I again stamped a smaller die cut panel and proceeded to stamp it with the foliage stamp. I then coloured the piece using my Nuvo Aqua Flow Pens. 

The base colour is Lemon Zest, then Mango Mimosa and finally Spiced Ginger. I started out colouring the small background pieces in the Lemon Zest but ended up changing that twice and finally settled on Indigo Batik. 

Once complete I attached fun foam to the back of the yellow panel using Scorpal tape before attaching to the card. 

I stamped the sentiment called Leaves Turn using the Paradise Ink and die cut it to fit across the yellow panel. 

I finished my card with a bit of Midas Touch Shimmering Pen on the 3 leaves just above the sentiment to add a bit of sparkle.

I did a video for this card which follows.

Leaves Turn

Hello, Kia here with you today. 

I am using a new stamp called Modern Foliage for my card today along with the sentiment called Leaves Turn. 

I took inspiration from the trees I see outside my window. The sun is getting lower and as it hits the trees in the late afternoon I see these beautiful colours. 

 Using Oxide inks I did smooshing on watercolour paper using cracked pistachio, peacock feathers, twisted citron and blueprint sketch. I then stamped the leaves on the background using VersaFine Clair ink in Green Oasis and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

I used left over watercolour paper to stamp my sentiment, which is stamped in the green and heat embossed as well. 

For my card base I used peacock feather and cracked pistachio and a small amount of water to allow the ink to move as I smooshed it into my Neenah card base. I then attached the leaf panel along with the sentiment pieces to finish.

Thank you for visiting today.
