Leaves Forever

I used two different embossing folders to create the faux tin metal squares behind the image. Surprisingly, I only applied one layer of silver embossing powder to my paper. I can't decide which one I like better. Thoughts?

Leaves Forever

Stamps:

   Queen Anne's Lace

   Forever Fern

Paper:

   Strawberry Slush A-2, 4-1/4 x 2-1/4

   Mossy Meadow 4-1/2 x 2-1/2

   Whisper White 4 x 2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4

   Sahara Sand 8-1/2 x 2-3/4 (10 - 1-1/4" Sq.)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Strawberry Slush

   Mossy Meadow

   VersaMark

Technique:

   Faux Tin Metal

Accessories:

   Layered Leaves/Painted Texture Embossing Folder

   Silver Embossing Powder

   1-1/4" Sq. Punch

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

Here is another card using the Painted Texture Embossing Folder instead of the Layered Leaves. Which do you like better?

Leaves Forever Too

First, I created my faux tin metal squares. I covered the Sahara Sand strip with VersaMark, applied silver embossing powder, and heat set it. I then punched out ten 1-1/4" squares. I then glued these onto the outer edges of the Basic Black panel. The center of the panel will be covered with an image.

If you do not have a square punch, you can score lines on the strip and fussy cut them after the heat embossing has cooled.

I then adhered the Basic Black panel onto the Strawberry Slush card front. Strawberry Slush has been discontinued, but you can choose Melon Mambo, Magenta Madness, Poppy Parade, or choose your favorite hue.

Next, I stamped and colored my image. I also stamped my sentiment on it. 

I adhered the Whisper White panel onto the Strawberry Slush, and then onto the Mossy Meadow. This panel was attached to the center of the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few rhinestones and adhered the other Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

Glitzy Thanks

Turn your shimmery white embossing paste into any color you need. Simply add a few drops of re-inker and blend it with a palette knife. You do have to work quickly because the embossing paste dries fast. These two cards are my first attempt at dyeing the embossing paste and applying it to a card front. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Queen Anne's Lace

Paper:

   Petal Pink A-2

   Flirty Flamingo 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Scrap

Ink:

   Coastal Cabana

Re-Inkers:

   Petal Pink

   Flirty Flamingo

   Coastal Cabana

Technique:

   Embossing Paste

   Stencil

Accessories:

   Shimmery White Embossing Paste

   Basic Pattern Decorative Masks

   Thick Iridescent Glitter

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I placed three small heaps of embossing paste on a clear block using a palette knife.

I then added two or three drops of re-inker to a heap.

I mixed them using a palette knife. It reminded me of mixing color into frosting.

I then picked up a bit and scraped it onto my mask/stencil with the white cardstock under it. 

Do clean off the knife between colors, or use different knives for each of the colors. I had never used the embossing paste, so I mixed too much. This is the reason I made two cards. A little goes a long way.

Next, I added some glitter while the paste was still a bit wet. I think I added too much because I am still picking up pieces that fall off every time I move it. I may omit the glitter the next time.

I then stamped on a left-over Paper Pumpkin tag to use on one of the cards. The other card had room at the top to stamp my sentiment directly on the card front. 

Once, the card front was dry, I adhered the layers together. The other basic white panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

   Highland Heather A-2

   Granny Apple Green 5-1/4 x 4

   Pineapple Punch 3-1/2 x 4 

   Whisper White 3-1/4 x 3-3/4, 1/2 x 2-1/2, 5-1/4 x 4

   Antique Corners & Sliders Elements

   Tear & Tape Adhesive

   Glue Dots

   Stampin' Seal +

I began with the 3-1/4 x 3-3/4" Whisper White panel. Using my markers, I colored the "E" clear block: Pineapple Punch, Highland Heather, and Granny Apple Green.

I sprayed the block and my white panel with water.

I stamped the panel with the clear block. I held it in place for a bit while the ink transferred to the panel.

I then set it aside to dry.

Next, I dry embossed the Granny Apple Green panel using the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.

I adhered some Jute Ribbon to the bottom of the panel. I did wrap it to the back and adhered it. Next time, I will just cut a strip for the front: 4".

I then grabbed the 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch strip and punched the left side of the tag using the banners pick a punch. 

I then stamped my sentiment, and finished the tag by punching the right side of the tag. 

I adhered this panel onto the card front.

I then stamped on my dry watercolor panel, using the trees from the Campology stamp set and my Mossy Meadow ink. This is a great group of trees. I adhered this panel onto the Pineapple Punch panel.

This was then added to the upper part of the Granny Apple Green embossed panel.

Lastly, I added the photo corners with glue dots, and the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.
