Autumn Hues

Hi Bloggers.

This was a demo card in a different colourway than my original card so I thought I would give it a day on the the blog -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the the Creative Expressions Eternal Ivy Embossing Folder. I matted onto Black Card and then onto a Coconut White Card blank. I edged with Phill Martin's CS Chic Pumpkin Twinkles and put aside to dry.

I misted a piece of Watercolour Card with water and added CS Pixie Powders in Straw Yellow, Burnt Orange and Aubergine Dream and put aside to dry.

I cut dies #3 and #4 together from Sue Wilson's Swirly Vine Background out of Black Card. Once my PP background was dry, I cut die #4 from it and added it to the black decorative die cut.

For the central leaf, I added CS to a piece of Heat Emboss Acetate. I added the same 3 Pixie Powders. I misted with a little water. I scrunched up a piece of White Tissue Paper, opened it and added it to the background. I tapped it down using a piece of Kitchen Roll and put aside to dry. Once completely dry, I cut the largest solid leaf from Sue's Autumn Leaf Trio Die Set. I cut the corresponding open leaf die from the same set out of Coconut White Card.

I finished my card by adding a Small Black Circle Dazzler to each corner of my embossed background.

You can see the original card in its original colourway here.
