Hello and Happy Monday! It's been a whirlwind day but I do have a make to share. This card was inspired by a Video on the Gina K. Designs You Tube Channel. It features a hibiscus leaf, heat embossing and ink blending.
I went in search of a leaf, I really wanted a Maple or Oak leaf but I'm in Florida, so the closest I could find was a Palm Frond or a Hibiscus leaf...I chose the latter. I washed and dried the leaf, inked it up with VersaMark Embossing Ink and pressed it onto a piece of white card. I sprinkled fine clear embossing powder and heat embossed the image.
I used the new Ranger Crackling Campfire Distress Oxide Ink along with Fossilized Amber and Dried Marigold Distress Oxide Inks to blend color over the embossed leaf image. This is what started to appear and I just love it! I'm so impressed with the hibiscus leaf and I think it's just as pretty as a Maple leaf.
For a finishing touch on this A2 sized card, I added a one word sentiment popped up on thin foam pads and gold sequins for that bit of sparkle. My Autumn card is complete....the colors blended nicely, Awww....I love Autumn!
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
