Hello, and Happy Friday.
Today's card is one I made in which I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest. I have had this leaf die for a while but just never got around to using it. My card is done with SSS Etched Tall Leaf Spray die, oxide and spray stains, and gold foil embossing
I started by cutting out my leaf using canson watercolour 140lb paper. I sprayed a variety of distress inks onto my glass mat, then dabbed my leaf into it, picking up various colours, leaving a few of them with the natural colour of the watercolour paper.
I also spritzed down my slim line watercolour paper, and just spritzed a bit of distress ink and then spritzed with water again, held up right and side to side to have the inks flow across the card.
After everything was dried, I flicked on some gold and copper paints.
For my sentiment I gold foiled a Spellbinders sentiment and cut it out with an Altenew sentiment label die, which was then layered onto the rusty colour c/s.
To finish I added some Bronze mix jewels from Little Things by Lucy. I also matched up a brown paper bag envelope to go with it.
My second card was basically cased from the one I saw on Pinterest. I made this one first, and then I created my first card in a different colour.
