I'm back from vacation and catching up on challenges. This card covers both CAS challenges that I missed!
I put the oak leaf stamp into my MISTI and used three scraps of watercolour paper since I was planning on fussy cutting. I sprinkled green, brown, and orange Brushos randomly on the stamp, then spritzed with my mini mister (a regular mister gives way too much water for this type of stamp). I then stamped. I got a lovely mixture of the three colours, with some blending but not too much. I wiped off the stamp and repeated the process on the other two scraps of watercolour paper. I left them to air dry as I didn't want the heat tool blowing the wet Brushos around and causing more blending. Then fussy cut them.
I stamped my sentiment in brown on a piece of cs and die cut it with a Sizzix label die. As I was trying to decide on an arrangement of the leaves on it, I decided it looked too plain and boring so used the splatter and postmark stamps from the same set with a very pale ink - even with the pale ink, I stamped off each time on scrap paper so that I could get second generation stamping.
I then lightly sponged around the edge of the panel to give it some definition from the card base and popped it up on fun foam. Last of all I attached the leaves by gluing down the stems and upper bits of the leaves and popping up the majority of the leaf with foam tape.
