Autumn Vibes
My projects this week are the card and ATC I made for the Visible Image October ATC swap which had “Autumn Vibes” for the theme. On the day I made these, it was blowing a hoolie and multi-coloured leaves were swirling all over the place, which inspired my makes.
Using the Autumn Leaves stencil, a variety of Distress Ink pads and small blending brushes, I layered the leaves to cover the ATC.
To give a little shadow to create dimension, I painted on watered down Gathered Twigs Distress Ink around the edges of the leaves and also painted on some leaf veins. For some sparkle, I spattered on gold watercolour paint and edged the ATC with it too.
Whilst the ATC was drying, I turned my attention to the accompanying card. I began by stamping the large tree from Into The Woods in Versafine Clair Pinecone ink on kraft card. I sprinkled a little gold embossing powder on, knocked off the excess and then added clear powder and heat-set.
To make the tree canopy, I stencilled the leaf colours used earlier in patches into the large stencil.
The ground was stencilled using a torn paper mask and a few flying leaves stencilled around the panel. The words are from Erika’s Maple. I blended a little brown around the edge and mounted the panel on orange card and then onto a dark green card blank.
The ATC was finished by 2nd generation stamping the same words from the card into the background and then the sentiment stamped in black and clear heat embossed.
