Distress ink autumn leaves

 

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope today finds you well,  we had a windy end to September ,  I think the rain is on its way though.  Looking out of our bedroom window I can see that Autumn is well under way, the trees are starting to change colour, all of them different making for such a lovely view, I am waiting for a good sunny spell to capture a photo that shows them in all of their Autumnal glory. 

Today's card I had great fun making yesterday,  I did make rather a mess though (whats new I hear you saying) 🤣😂                                                                I took Fired Brick, Fossilised Amber,  Spiced Marmalade,  peeled paint, Vintage Photo and a touch of Walnut Stain Distress inks and made narrow stripes of the across my media mat, I spritzed them with water and dragged my card through the ink, then dried and tapped lightly onto some of the little dots of ink still on my mat, drying between layers helps to build the colours.  To finish the background I spritzed water into my metallic gold paint and used a fan brush to add splatters to the inked card. 

I used some different leaves and autumnal themed dies to cut the background.

I then used a new die I have called Sizzix Snail Mail to cut a piece of Kraft card.  I added a tiny hint of ink to some of the edges of the rectangles and then arranged my autumn foliage into the spaces.  For the centre I added the Thank you, embossed in Gold.  I layered this piece onto a gold shimmer card and then onto a linen card base. 

I hope that you all have a good day, 

Love & hugs
