Falling Leaves

I like the detail on these leaf stamps. I also like the look of some of them half stamping on the card. Using the white embossing powder also highlights this feature. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   French Foliage

   Banners For You

Paper:

   Cajun Craze A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), Scrap

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Cajun Craze

   Whisper White Craft

Technique:

   Heat Embossing

   Die Cutting

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies

   Sponge

   White Embossing Powder

   Dimensionals

   Brads

   Adhesive

First, I randomly stamped various leaves on the card front, using Whisper White Craft ink.

I then quickly applied White embossing powder, heat set it, and placed it aside to cool.

Meanwhile, I took a scrap of Basic White and stamped a sentiment and banner from the Banners For You stamp set. 

I then die cut it and sponged the edges, using Cajun Craze. I attached it to the center of the card front, using dimensionals. 

Lastly, I added a couple of brads on each end of the banner and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Water Well

 This card features a Vintage Watercolor Technique. You can find the tutorial that I followed at Vintage Watercolor. Although the technique looks a bit difficult, I found it to be fun. I like the smudges and the script. What do you think?

Stamps:

   In the Meadow

   French Foliage

   Countryside

Paper:

   Wild Wasabi A-2

   Chocolate Chip 5-1/4 x 4

   Watercolor 3-3/4 x 5

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside) 

Ink:

   Chocolate Chip

   Watercolor Pencils

Technique:

   Vintage Watercolor 

Accessories:

   Aqua Painter

   Masks

   Adhesive

I did follow the steps on the tutorial, but I made it mine by using the supplies I had available.

First, I created my masks: wheel-barrel and water well. I stamped the image on a scrap piece and fussy cut it out. I then applied a tad of temporary adhesive to the back. This way I could hold it in place, but remove it when I was done. Some adhesive is both temporary and permanent, depending on how you apply it.

I then stamped my water well on the left side of my panel and the wheel-barrel on the right side.

Next, I placed my masks over these images. I then stamped the other images. I began with the script writing on the top of the panel, followed by the trees, grass, and flowers.

I then removed the masks and colored in my images, using my watercolor pencils. 

Then came the fun part, I applied water to the images. I kept a paper towel handy just in case I got carried away. 

I then added the water spots and smudges. I think it turned out nicely. This is definitely a one of a kind card. Have fun and get creative with your supplies.
