Autumn Leaf

This is the other card I made for the CAS Mix Up challenge. I've been very inspired by all the beautiful Autumn colours in out streets, so I decided to make a leaf with lots of jewel colours.

I stamped the Japanese poem background and gold embossed. This is an old Hero Arts stamp. Then I added some splatter with distress inks. I covered the chipboard leaf with distress ink and embossed with Opals thick embossing powder. Whilst it was still warm I sprinkled some glitter and rubbed in some gold leaf and other coloured foil. Then I covered with some Versamark ink and repeated the heat embossing until it was all smooth and glossy. I die cut the SSS sentiment from glitter paper.

I'm entering the following challenges:-

    Gorgeous fall colours for your leaf Jenny. Love the browns, golds and coppers. Isn't this a fun technique??!! I'm finding I'm also using some old supplies that have been sitting for ages (mainly glitter that is so messy). Having it melted into the embossing powder adds some wonderful sparkle without as much mess. :) So happy that you are enjoying the technique and playing along with lots! xx

    Stunning and absolutely gorgeous. So rich and what great texture and wonderful layout. The heat embossing on the background sets off that marvellous leaf perfectly. Great way to use lots of different powders, glitters etc to produce unique and amazing creations. You sure look like you are having fun? Thanks again for adding this stunning card to the gallery at The CAS Mix Up Challenge x
