We are sponsored by Uniko Studio this week...be sure to check out the details at the CASology blog!
OK, it's definitely fall here on the east coast of the USA, and the leaves are crunching under foot as I walk my kids to school each cool morning. The air is crisp, the leaves are dry, and there lies the inspiration for my card this week. (Trust me, my mind also went to FOOD but I stuck with my first thought!)
I inked my leaf stamp with multiple distress inks, then spritzed with water before stamping and fussy cutting. The raffia bow adds another crisp touch of fall.
For added interest, I spritzed the entire kraft panel with "Heirloom Gold" Perfect Pearls Mist...doesn't that add so much to the "crisp" feeling of the card? The light has to hit it just right in order to see it...
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Inkadinkado "Autumn Foliage," Rubber Stampede "Liquid Amber"
Inks: Distress Inks: Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint, Scattered Straw
Other: Perfect Pearls "Heirloom Gold" Mist, Li'l Inkers stitched rectangle dies, raffia bow
