My card today has an Autumnal feel to it which could
easily be adapted for a Thanksgiving card.
I started by cutting out my curved edged Stacker Die in brown card stock. My next layer I wanted to look like shabby strips of wood so I painted a sheet of cardstock with brown paint and applied a layer of crackle paint. Once dry I added white paint to the top to reveal the crackles and sprinkled on Gold Embossing powder, heat setting in place. I then cut into strips, tattering and inking the edges layering onto my card with foam strips.
My sentiment was stamped onto Kraft card and torn around
the edges, applying some ink in Autumnal colours.
My Autumn bouquet you will notice my acorns were cut out
in Kraft card. I layered the base part twice and coloured with a dark brown
Copic Pen, the nut part I added some Distress crackle paint to it.
My swirls were Heat embossed with a mixture of metallic
powders. My leaves were cut out in several shades, inking some with Autumnal
colours and adding some Distress powders onto them. The berries were coloured
with a few shades of Copic Pens adding Glossy Accents onto them.
