Hey there! Happy Friday! Today's card was fun to put together. Boy, did I make a mess! Usually, I like staying very clean; yeah, I'm one of those folks. ;-) But on the day I made the card below, I wanted to play with inks and paints and embossing powders. What resulted is a pure, lovely mess....
I used Rubber Stampede's embossing ink refill (liquid form) to sprinkle splotches on the card base, then embossed with gold embossing powder. The ink saturated the card a bit too much, making some areas a little buckled. Oh well.
The Tattered Leaves die cuts (Tim Holtz/Sizzix) were inked with so many things, I don't even recall. I do remember using metallic gold paint on here, smeared around a little. There are some Onyx sequins from Pretty Pink Posh added around the leaves, and a sentiment from Inspired By Stamping was added to an acorn die cut.
So there you go! A messy one from me. :-) Thanks so much for your visit, and have a fabulous weekend!

You should get messy more often then. This card is gorgeous! Love it.
ReplyDeleteWay to stretch yourself. Love the gold splatters and of course the leaves :) Darling touch with the acorn.
ReplyDeleteA great mix of layers, textures and fall colors! My favorite part is that pretty little acorn!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I LOVE the mess! Beautiful as can be!
ReplyDeleteI used to do messy a lot, but not so much anymore. It is fun to play with inks and powders and glitter and all that good stuff. This turned out great. I love the gold splotches and your design and warm colors. Cute to stamp the sentiment on the acorn. Love that!
ReplyDeleteNow that is inky fun!! I generally like to stay clean too, but once in a while, you hafta play :)
