Hello and happy August! How quickly are the seasons changing and months passing this year! I find it time to turn my thoughts toward fall themed cards with richer, earthier colors. I had another play with the new Tim Holtz 3D Botanical Texture Fade. This time I used Peacock Feathers Distress Ink and Distress Oxide, then dabbed my panel with my Versamark and embossed Copper EP randomly. I was going for a rich patina effect.
I rummaged through my products during several sittings and finally decided upon the Paper Cut Bird die as my focal image. I sanded an entire sheet of gold Metallic Kraft Core and cut my bird, then a frame from the Stitched Rectangles set and a base panel. I rubbed a teal glaze over the base to tint it so I would have enough contrast. I absolutely LOVE this bird die cut out and framed this way and will be revisiting this idea in the future.
I finished with some purchased florals and a beautiful Metallic Quotations sticker. It was hard to photograph, but I hope you can imagine the luster of the metallic embossing and papers. Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day, Autumn
