My final fall themed card uses the leaf die cuts from the previous card I made (see post below this one). To color the leaves, I used distress ink in mustard seed, fired brick, frayed burlap, and dried marigold. I “smooshed” the ink pads onto my craft mat and then spraying them with water. By dragging the die cut leaves through the water activated ink, I was able to get all those gorgeous fall color onto the white cardstock leaves. Tip: add the light colors first…yellow being number one, and brown last. Otherwise, you’ll never get the yellow to show through the darker colors. Once they were dry, I used a brown Zig Clean Color Brush pen to flick some brown dots onto them…but you can use any water based marker you have. Finally, I arranged the leaves into a circle shape to create a fall leaf wreath. I used Glossy Accents to adhere them to the brown front panel. I matted the front panel to an orange cardstock and then adhered them both to the card base. I used lightweight cardstock for the colored backgrounds and Neenah solar white 110lb for the cardbase. Colored paper would work just as well. The sentiment is from a Words to the Rescue stamp set. It was stamped using Versamark ink and then I used gold embossing powder and a Darice heat gun to set it. Finally, I added some inexpensive glittery embellishments called Beads in a Bottle by Tulip. Now, onto Christmas cards next!
