Hello lovely crafters
It's time for another challenge at Shopping our Stash and this one perfectly reflects the season change here to Autumn.
SOS 480 Leaf me alone -
Create a project featuring a leaf or leaves.
Of course there is no need to have an autumn theme, check through your stash and use any leaf products you can find and join in the fun.
I did use Autumn colours.
I used my very favourite technique of iron off embossing. I chose a Hobby Art Set of leaf stamps and stamped and embossed in clear, on a strip of watercolour paper.
Then I spritzed the whole card and dropped Brushos on in brown, yellow and orange. I used a brush for a small amount of 'helping' and left to dry.
When dry comes the fun part. Place the card between sheets of clean paper and iron on hot. The embossing powder melts onto the paper leaving you with the gorgeous inkiness.
In the end I didn't add a greeting as I wasn't sure what occasion I'll be using it for. Of course it doesn't necessarily need one but it's good to have multipurpose cards in stock.
I think white on black when I do add one.
I'm skipping over to Just Us Girls with this one. Checkout all the gorgeous leafy cards.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x
