More details on my blog Kath's Blog Everyday Life Of A Crafter
I began by trimming Distress Watercolor card to 5.1/4" square and added Aged Mahogany, Rusty Hinge and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide inks through the Visible Image Autumn Leaves Stencil using Simon Says Mini Blending Brushes which are perfect for applying ink in small areas.
I inked the leaf image from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Pressed Foliage with Ground Espresso Distress Archival ink and stamped slightly offset over the stencilled leaf.
I repeated the process on a scrap of Distress Watercolor card and fussy cut.
I added splatters of Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide ink to the background, placed the stencil back over the stamped image, flicked splatters of Flickering Candle Distress Mica Stain on to the stamped and fussy cut leaves and dried to reveal the beautiful shimmer.
I sprinkled Stampendous Frantage Aged Black Embossing Enamel over the stamped and cut out leaves and heat set from underneath until melted. I think I over-did the sprinkling on the background leaf, but hey ho, there's no taking it back once melted. I die-cut the Simon Says Thankful frame from the background, replaced back into the aperture, holding it in place with a strip of Sizzix Adhesive Sheet. I fixed Sizzix Adhesive sheet to Distress Watercolor card, coloured with Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide ink, die-cut the frame again and fixed the letters in place over the originals.
I inked around the edges of the panel with Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide ink, matted the panel on to Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Metallic 2 KraftStock, trimmed to be 1/8" larger, fixed to a 5.1/2" square white card blank and fixed the 2nd leaf in place with Foam Adhesive to create dimension.
To finish I added a twine double bow and the word "Be" trimmed from Simon Says Reverse Merriest Christmas Sentiment Strip.
