Happy Wednesday Everyone! I have a card to share with you today featuring Red Rubber Designs' Every Leaf and Trendy Greetings stamp sets, and Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals. I am in LOVE with these magical pigment powders!
I started off by spritzing my craft mat with water and sprinkling some magical powders on top. I smooshed, swished, and swirled a piece of 65lb. weight white cardstock into the pigment, drying each layer in between until I was happy with the color application. I used the brown shades from the Sweet Treats set and from the Autumn Leaves set I used Cattail Copper Brown and Ponderosa Pines Olive. I also used Sandra Dee Sepia from the Go Greased Lightnin' set and Heidi Swapp's Gold Color Shine spray. I'm not sure if they even sell it anymore but if you can find some Color Shine sprays grab them, they are really nice!
After my paper was dry I stamped my leaves using Ground Espresso Archival ink and then fussy cut them out. Although watercolor mediums work best on watercolor or mixed media paper, I like using this lighter weight cardstock if I'm going to be fussy cutting stamped images. The Magicals and sprays gave the paper a nice texture, and even with slightly shaking hands I was able to get some pretty smooth cut edges.

I used both Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso Distress inks along the edges of my leaves, and on the embossed cardstock to highlight the leafy pattern. The embossed cardstock is from the Fall Embossed Cardstock Stack from Michaels. I was able to get it on clearance in store last year for $3.33! I used an edge distresser along the edges of the embossed panel, applied some distress ink and then adhered it to my card base.
I used a die to create the tag and glittered hole enforcer and adhered the leaves on top of it using foam tape. I then stamped the sentiment using Ground Espresso Archival ink and adhered the tag to my card front. You can find a supply list below, thanks so much for stopping by today!
