Are you having a beautiful fall? The colors are really popping in my area. The beautifully colored leaves inspired my card, along with these lovely dies and new stencil. I wanted it to be the focus so I left most of it uncovered, Come take a look at how I made this.
For the Inspiration Challenge (IC986), we are visiting Personal Creations & their Pinterest Board. I used THIS for my inspiration.
To make my card, I first used a fan leaf stencil, along w/ the yellow, red, orange & green inks. When I was happy with it, I die cut it using the inside only of the wood sign die. I love the texture and added interest. For the leaves, I used a piece of painted background I made a while back, using fabric paints. I didn’t have a piece of the same painted bg large enough, so I used a piece of metallic copper instead. I die cut the frame & the inside, but only used the frame here. This was also used for the backing layer behind the greeting. Then it was just a matter of arranging the leaves. The 2 little colored leaves are from the same set as the greeting & I attached them w/ a small copper brad to the greeting panel.
Here are the fabric paints I used. The card was a bright yellow & I squeezed out some of both colors & used a hard rubber brayer to spread the paint evenly. It also gives a bit of a fun texture, almost like cloth.
This is just to show the difference between the painted bg & the metallic copper. The leaf on the left is the painted one & the one on the right is the metallic copper. To me, the painted leaf has more depth & richness.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
