Leaf Card

  Good morning,

Heidi here to share another blog project using our weekly theme - 'Cards'

I am an avid stamper and card maker, so this theme was right up my street! Any excuse to stamp up some glorious images, ink up some wonderful shapes and partake in lots of fussy cutting.

My card is full of autumnal colours and leaves. Our lovely Di recently added some fabulous new shapes to the website : pentagons, squares, hexagons and triangles.  They are just the right sizes for your crafting creations and great on cards as a feature, like I have used here.

Here is how I made my card :

Products Used :

Tando Shapes - Hexagons

Tando Stencil - Leaves and Bubbles

Hobby Art Stamps - Falling Leaves

Visable Image - Erika's Maple stamps

Versafine Onyx Black Inkpad

Distress Oxide Inkpads -

Crackling Campfire, Vintage Photo, Crushed Olive, Rusty Hinge and Fossilized Amber

Black embossing powder and heat gun

White watercolour card

Brown and Amber Bazzill Card

White card blank 15cms x 15cms

Glue, smoothies and water spray

Card Method :

I started off stamping up all of the leaf stamps required onto water colour card. Cover with black embossing powder and heat with heat gun.

Cover the images with various colours of inkpads and add water spray. Take colour off of the card with kitchen roll to leave water marks.

Cut out leaves and using Crackling campfire, cover hexagons with lots of the ink. Using leaves stencil, cover with Vintage Photo ink.

Cut a piece of brown and amber Bazzill card and matt onto card blank.

Onto a piece of white water colour card, stamp up a leaf stamp around edges and apply Crackling Campfire and Vintage Photo ink to card through 'Bubbles' stencil. Stick down onto card blank.

Edge hexagons with ink using the smoothies and glue down. Arrange leaves over hexagons and stick to card.

Stamp up sentiment, edge with ink and brown card, stick to hexagon centrally.
