Instead of watercolouring, I sponged autumn colours of Distress inks (Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, Crackling Campfire) onto a piece of mixed media paper. The coloured panel was dry embossed (Vine Canopy EF - Simon Says Stamp) on the de-bossed side of the panel. I then took Versafine Clair Chianti ink and used direct to paper, swiping the inkpad over the debossed and sponged side of the panel.
Once the panel was dry, I cut it into different-sized widths horizontally. I adhered the some of the strips to my card base (not all), leaving a bit of space between each strip. I stamped the sentiment (Simply Sentiments - Lawn Fawn) in Carved Pumpkin ink.
This was a quick and easy card to make.

ReplyDeleteA simple but incredibly effective card. All thanks to a few details of this project. A great idea to increase interest was to cut the panel and spread the image upwards. The stamped sentiment of the color used to dye the panel works great with it. And the technique of embossing and coloring the embossing is very effective. A beautiful autumn card, my dear Loll.
