I love my Kaleidacolor Autumn Leaves ink pad I've had for many years. Here's my first card using it this year.
I brayered a scrap of glossy photo paper--my favorite way to use this ink pad. The panel was cut into 3 pieces & I mounted them to a kraft slimline card I just cut from a sheet of cardstock. The IO sentiment
(D14779) was gold embossed & I added 2 layers of cardstock before mounting it to the center. I've had IO leaf dies
(DIE095-D) for quite awhile & finally used them!
I colored with markers & brushed them with a mixture of water & gold Perfect Pearls. No embellishments, as this is for a male relative. I'm entering

We're hoping for better air quality by the end of this week. Some people have been able to return to their homes & for many nothing is left. It is heartwarming to see how people find ways to help & so discouraging to see the criminals take advantage. I'm no longer surprised to see how people jump on the bandwagon of misinformation & down right lies, but I don't understand it. There's also a lot of damage from the hurricane & dangerous flooding. Stay safe if you're in that area.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
Oh, that is a great ink pad! This is a lovely autumn card. We're beginning to see bits of fall color here and there.
ReplyDeleteGreta I too love my Kaleidacolor ink pads and they sure come out outstanding on gloss paper as you have done here. xxx
ReplyDeleteSuper colourful creation Greta. So so pretty. Thanks for sharing at JUGS this week.
ReplyDeletefantastic background Greta. I haven't used my Kaleidacolor inks for such a long time. Love the slimline card.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful with it's autumn colors and pretty leaves. I think those pads last forever and they are such a wonderful mix of colors together. I hope the air clears up and you and Fritz can go back to your walks.

ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous slimline autumn card, Greta! Love the embossing! I'm so hopeful the air is clearing up for you and so sad for all the devastation. This year makes my heart hurt. Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card in vibrant Autumnal colours! So cheerful in these distressing times. I really like the IO Happy Birthday sentiment; must try to track one down for myself. I think the sentiment is such an important part of the finished card. People seem to be the same the world over during a crisis; those who respond with compassion and generosity and others who seek to take advantage of others. Lovely work Greta.
ReplyDeleteJust love your slimline in fall colors, Greta! So beautiful with the falling leaves!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colouring and details Greta, such a beautiful card.

ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous Greta, the colors are awesome! HOpe you are hanging in there.
