Today I have another Christmas card to share, - techniques used were very similar to those used in my previous post
Below a quick step by step in case you are interested.
I started with a size 8 manilla tag and coloured it with a mix of Paper Artsy Infusions and Distress Sprays. As I wanted a much paler background actually I then added a thinish layer of gesso.
When that was dry I added some stamping and then started to work on the leaf that was to form the focal of this card.
I used a die from the new Sara Davies Autumn Morning collection (available from Crafters Companion). I cut it, coloured with the infusions and sprays again and then put it back in the die to emboss it and bring out the veins which were highlighted with Ground Espresso DI.
I added it plus a die-cut word (Tim Holtz) to my tag and then mounted and layered it to make it into a card. Below some details still: Also did some splatters with Antique Bronze Distress Spray.
Some frosted berries (the "frosting" is some Distress Clear Rockcandy glitter).
Another little die cut, I seem to remember this one is from Sheena Douglass, I had it in my box of ready die-cuts....
And here the completed card...
Well, that's it for today, thanks for your visit!
