The cue card this week at CAS•ology this week, the cue card is Autumn...
Here's my card...
I decided to use some very heavy weight paper and die cut this really cool leaf. I then took a piece of watercolor paper and embossed it with the same die to have the detailed veins underneath the die cut...
Here's a pic of the papers as I started...
I painted with distress inks, water and a brush...letting the colors go over/outside the lines...yes, it felt good to color outside the lines, so that when it was underneath the die cut, the color would continue:)!! Oh...had to add that I emboss the leaf a second time after the inks have dried to give it a deeper impression! Add pop up dots underneath the die cut panel and add the watercolored leaf to the panel. I was having so much fun, I decided to do another in orange...
Thanks for visiting me today!!
Hugs!! Lisa

ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards as always Lisa, but seldom quite as simple as they first appear. So often there is a bit of ingenuity involved which you share so generously. Thank you.
