FALL in Love with Autumn Leaves
It's just about peak season in southern Maine and the colors are, as always, gorgeous. I was inspired to create a card that mimics what I see outside, and I think I accomplished it with some reinkers and watercolor paper. Oh, and the Autumn Leaves bundle, of course.
Cardstock/Ribbon Measurements
- Crumb Cake cardstock (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4")
- Crumb Cake cardstock scrap
- Basic Black cardstock (4-1/4" x 5-1/2")
- Fluid 100 watercolor paper (one 5"x 7" sheet)
- Wavy Trim (about 8")
Directions
- Set up your color palette by dropping 2 drops of each reinker onto separate areas of a plate, palette dish, aluminum foil, etc.
- Apply a liberal amount of water to Fluid 100 paper using the largest Water Painter brush. It's best to work in smaller sections (1/3 of the paper at a time).
- Dip the small or medium Water Painter into the Crushed Curry ink and then touch to the wet Fluid 100. Repeat with other colors, moving from lightest to darkest color. I like to do sections of yellow/orange/red for maple leaves, yellow/green for oak leaves, and green for the little leaves.
- Dry paper with Heat Tool, then die cut the leaves.
- Stamp sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink onto Crumb Cake scrap and die cut.
- Adhere leaves to Black layer, then trim down to 3-3/4" x 5".
- Wrap Wavy Trim around leaf layer and secure in the back with Glue Dots (or other adhesive).
- Adhere leaf layer to card base using Dimensionals.
- Adhere sentiment layer over Wavy Trim using Dimensionals.
- Add any extra leaves to the inside of the card for decoration.
- Add Butterflies to card front, if desired.
