In my last blog post I actually made two cards, but my description of how I made the main card was too long, so I left the second card for a separate article. This card is just simple version of that card. If you missed the first card, you can find it here. You can find there the list of supplies. I picked a white card stock and die cut it using a stitched rectangular die. You could also use the embossing folder, but I didn’t really think about it. I just had a few left over leaves that I cut out and wanted to use them. For these leaves I first embossed a panel for which I used a craft card stock and these leaves I cut out with my scissors. I actually used the de-bossed side and I wanted the leaves to match the colours on the background of the first card, where I used the Distress inks. After I was done with the ink blending, to add a little bit of shimmer to the leaves I used a clear embossing pen and I went over the de-bossed lines. Then I used a very small brush, size 0 and I applied the Perfect Pearls powder (Perfect Bronze) to those lines. Then I sprayed the leaf with a clean water to set the powder. Before I assembled the card I splattered golden watercolour over the background and let it dry. This is however optional. To assemble the card I first tied a backers twine around the panel and I tied a knot to hold it in place. Then I adhered tree leaves. Two of them I attached using a foam tape. For the one that was overlapping I only used the tape for half of the leaf. And the last leaf I adhered using a liquid glue. I also made sure that the stems are together, so I can tie the bakers twine around them. I tied the twine into a knot and then into a bow. To make sure it doesn’t untie, I added a drop of clear glue. Next I adhered the panel on top of a card base that I made out of a craft card stock. Lastly, to finish up the card I adhered a few brown and beige enamel dots. These I bought ages ago and keep forgetting about them. I think they are great addition to the look of the card. And I also adhered a greeting. Simple Happy Birthday that I stamped and heat embossed in white onto a black card stock. I hope you will try making this card yourself.
