Autumn Greetings
It's time for another DeNami Blog Hop & today's theme is Krazy for Kraft. The entire line-up & details on prizes can be found on the DeNami Blog. You should have arrived by way of Andrea's Blog where I know you found wonderful inspiration! There's still lots to see so I'll get right to my card. I knew I wanted to use Elegant Autumn Scene which I ordered with my gift certificate when my blog was drawn during a previous hop. I began with various colors of Gelatos blended with my finger on watercolor paper. Then I spread some Gesso in areas & let it dry. After stamping the image which includes the greeting, I die cut the piece & dry embossed it. The leaves & stems were colored with metallic markers & then more Gesso was applied to soften the colors. I attached my die cut to another one cut from thin cardboard to make it a bit thicker & stiffer. The piece was spritzed with Tattered Angels Iridescent Gold & finished off with gems, gold cord & a little flower. The card is die cut from kraft cardstock with some Gesso smeared on before spritzing with Tattered Angels.
