Autumn Leaves Card
Happy Sunday, Everyone!! Gosh, it's been hot here in Southern California! We had a really mild summer this year, rarely hitting the hundreds except for a few times but a few days ago, we had a heat wave with the temperature in the high 90s and low 100s. I hope it doesn't last much longer. It's suppose to be cooling down not heating up. Global warming, perhaps?
Yesterday, I decided to play with my embossing powder and give my card a super embossed look. Rather than using regular cardstock, I used watercolor paper. I brayered the ink over the watercolor paper. . . keep in my when you do this. . .you would need to roll the ink a lot of times to really cover the paper really well. To give the multi-color look, I used "Kaleidacolor Autumn Leaves" ink pad. I LOVE the textured look to the watercolor paper. . .I didn't realize how pretty the ink would look on the watercolor paper. Try it out!!
To create the embossing, I actually did a "resist" technique by first heat embossing the leaves on to the watercolor paper with gold embossing powder then went over it with the ink with the brayer.
Anyway, I really like the shiny effect of the embossing powder. It's really pretty.
Today's post will be short. . .I have a lot of things to work on right now!!
Hope y'all have a fabulous day!!

I think this looks like some of those fancy handmade papers you find at specialty stores for like 5-6 bucks a small sheet. You could sell this.
Very pretty Maria! I didn't think you made the paper... looked like a professional print :o)... I really like the colors and the embossing. TFS!
