Greetings fellow crafters! Fall has finally arrived in my area and that makes me a happy camper! I'm lucky to live where the trees turn ALL the different colors. Since it feels like fall, I felt a fall themed card was definitely called for. I dug into my stash of old and new products from Scrappy Tails Crafts to create this mini slimline card.
This card actually got its start many weeks ago when I was playing with my newest Distress Mica Spray stains. I created a couple of gorgeous panels out of watercolor cardstock.
Then I took out the Fall Assorted Leaves dies and cut as many leaves and bits that I could get out of one of the panels.
Let's talk details. I cut the large leaf vein out of copper cardstock and glued it to the leaf. I used the long, skinny lattice like die from the A7 Book Add-on & Fancy Oval set to cut three different colors of cardstock. Next I used the smallest layering panel from the Slimline Shadow Box dies to cut a piece of light tan cardstock. Then I ran the panel through my die cut machine with the Slimline Tiki Pattern die. I splattered the panel with Walnut Stain distress ink spray and gold acrylic paint. Once it was dry I used the Walnut Stain distress ink and a blending brush around the edges of the panel.
The next step was to use the next largest die from the Slimline Shadow Box die set to cut a panel out of a dark tan cardstock. I also used the Hello die from the same set. I cut it out of the copper cardstock and the shadow layer out of the same light cardstock. Now I have a bunch of parts and pieces ready to go.
This is the easy part. I glued the three colored strips to the left side of the light panel and cut off the extra. Next came the large leaf. I used liquid adhesive to add it to the panel. I glued the "hello" to the shadow layer and added foam tape to the back before adding it to the panel. I also took the little ball-like flowers and leaves and glued it tucked under the sentiment.
I glued the light panel to the darker tan panel and then onto a mini slimline card base that measures 3 1/2" x 6 1/2". For the final touch I added Copper Penny Nuvo drops. Fini!
Thanks so much for visiting today. May your day be excellent!
