I used Altenew watercolor markers to add one color at a time, spritzing lightly with water. I added gold & brown splatters and popped up the middle leaf. I scored a Classic Kraft card & also splattered it with gold & brown.
The Spellbinders sentiment was stacked with the top layer cut from gold metallic cardstock. I haven't used gold thread for awhile & I do like it behind the leaves. Finished off with gold sequins.
Next is a Christmas card combining products from several different companies. The black embossed poinsettia from Gina K's Festive Flowers was colored using a sponge dauber & Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink.
I added black & gold splatters, as well as brushing on some of the gold. The black panel was cut with a Papertrey Ink die & Poppystamps Merry Christmas Poe Script was die cut from black & gold cardstock. I added gold Stickles & gold PPP sequins. I'm entering the ModSquad challenge to make a card with a poinsettia.
Next is a Thanksgiving card using PTI Quilted Summer die with an old favorite DCWV paper pad called Harvest House. I die cut the frame twice, so it's slightly raised.
The ephemera is from the paper pad & the brown heat embossed sentiment is from PTI Autumn Adornments. The Classic Kraft card is splattered with gold watercolor paint.
I have left over pieces for more quilt cards that I've already started. I'm entering PTI What Do I Do With This to create a card with embossing powder & TTTC139 (kraft, free, patterned paper).
Another great display of artwork Greta, predictably the Autumnal leaves are the one that draws me the most.
