Back in the "olden days" I belonged to a group of lovely ladies who gathered once a month to make cards together. Now that we haven't seen each other for months, one of our members suggested that each month we follow a theme and make a card for each of our friends (6 cards). This month the theme is "fall/thanksgiving".
My production line began with an 8.5x11 piece of white cardstock on which I randomly blended DO inks in oranges, yellows, greens and browns. Then I spattered the piece with water and next with gold metallic paint. Die cut a bunch of leaves and used some walnut stain DO ink to smudge the edges of all the leaves. Stamped my card base with a retired Hero Arts flourish cover stamp - also did the tag - MISTI used for this stamping - fast and easy! Thought the swirl design of the stamp went so well with falling leaves. Arranged the leaves, added the sentiment, a few gold sequins and done. After I had the first card finished, assembling the other five cards went quickly.
Thanks for dropping by today.
What a fabulous idea, Betty! And a group of six isn't too many. Just love your leaves on the tag and the swirls look amazing!!
