Take Time

 

Welcome

As sad as I am to be seeing the summer coming to an end, there is something so magical about the Fall with the leaves all turning colours and the crisp, fresh air.

Today's card features a new die I just picked up called Falling Leaves.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by die cutting the leaves on some black cardstock, creating the frames around the leaves.
• I looked through my stash of inked background and couldn't find one I wanted to use, so I decided to use some 'bleeding' tissue paper to give the colour to the leaves.
• I took a piece of white cardstock and laid some squares of the tissue in colours that you would find in the Fall.  I sprayed with a generous amount of water and let dry completely.  

This is what it looked like after I sprayed it with the water.

So the ink from the tissue transfers onto the cardstock to colour it.

• When the piece was totally dry, I removed all the little bits of tissue paper and die cut the leaves again with the above used die.
• I glued the black outline part of the die onto a piece of white cardstock, then fitted the coloured tissue paper bits into place.
• Next, I splattered with my black Posca pen and then glued it onto a 4 1/4" square card.
• I stamped the sentiment in my Misti and then cut it out and glued it onto a piece of black cs.
• I popped the sentiment into the corner.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
