Once again I have turned to a really old die set and this one has been around for years. It is from Sizzix and the leaves are simply gorgeous.
You can colour them any way you wish to suit the season, and with any medium that you prefer. I have chosen to use Distress Oxides on mine but they would look just as good with alcohol inks, water colours or Brushos
Try them on water colour card, ordinary card or even Yupo paper to vary the look.
For these I have used a die from Amazon that is called a Fish Net die but it looks like Hessian/Burlap when cut from Kraft and I do like the result
For the card to the left I have stencilled the background and then wrapped the panel with parchment. I heat embossed the sentiment onto the parchment and dotted the card with hole punched dots.
The video will show you how I got this look for my cards and one of the things I used was some old book pages.
Use your imagination to make these leaves work for your designs. as they are a lot of fun to work with.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Bye for now ...
Hugs xx

ReplyDeleteHi Christina, I’m not keen on the distressed leaf dies but I do have several ‘regular’ leaf dies I could use, thanks for sharing. Hugs, Maggie Coleman xx
ReplyDeleteI just finished watching your video with all the great ideas for the leaves. Very inspiring for me.

Morning Christina Hope this is a good day for you. i love this idea. I used burlap and leaves with modge podge and it was quite affective, Vicki L Phillips
ReplyDeleteI love the second card - the colouring/tonings really appeal to me :) great card!
ReplyDeleteGood Evening Christina. So sorry it's late. I managed to take the class tonight. Yipeeeee. First time since before Christmas. So things are really picking up for me.
ReplyDeleteSo today's cards I would say they were man cards. And that's what we all get stuck with. So Thankyou Christina for showing us another lovely idea with stamps and tools we already have. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
These are gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteFabulous inspiration. I have the leaf dies and not thought to use them with printed pages.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves are really pretty, and I love the gold accents!
ReplyDeleteI love these leaves and especially using them for Autumn cards, like that burlap die with them
