This is one of those cards that turn out completely different than the picture in your head! Even though the leaves haven't turned colour around here, they will be falling off the trees, as post tropical storm Teddy is hitting us tonight.
I had a vision in my head of stamping the leaves, embossing them in clear and then adding ink over them. I think the Skeleton Leaves stamp set by Gina K. Designs that I used wasn't the right choice for my vision. So once I added the ink it didn't look like what I expected.
I used a VersaMark pen to colour over all the leaves and acorns, added clear embossing powder and heat set it again. This locked the colour under the embossed areas. Then I added Warm Cocoa over the whole card, concentrating on the background. I used a piece of paper towel to rub any ink off the leaves.
The sentiment came from the Autumn Wreath Builder and was cut out with a Cottage Cutz Stitched Circle die and heat embossed in gold. I layered the panel with Coral Reef cardstock and attached it to a white card base.
My MISTI came in handy for arranging and stamping the leaves, and for lining up the sentiment and border on my die cut circle.
Even though it didn't turn out as planned, I am happy with the result!
