Autumn is probably my favorite season with cooler temperatures, changing colors and football! You can be inspired by the whole quote or any of the words. I tried a new technique after watching Lydia Fiedler's video.
Basically, you attach foil to cardstock, emboss with a 3D folder, cover with gesso, add alcohol inks and cover the raised edges with gold. Lydia brayered on gold paint, but I swiped with a gold ink pad. I did find it tricky to not end up with the alcohol inks all mixed together, but this panel turned out like I wanted.
I made it into a card using a sentiment and leaves from SSS Thankful for You. Hope to see you in the gallery. I'm entering SSS Wednesday and Double D.
This is absolutely stunning Greta! I love the blend of colors and I bet this has amazing shine IRL. I have to find that video!! xxx
ReplyDeleteStunning Greta. It is just amazing and such inspiration!
ReplyDeleteGreta this card is absolutely amazing! As soon as I saw it at Time Out, I had to come and take a closer look. The colours and finish are so vibrant - this is so not my usual style, but I’m off to watch the video (thanks for the link) and I’m going to have a go. You have truly inspired me this morning!
ReplyDeleteSuch an interesting technique and your results are amazing!
ReplyDeleteGoodness me this is beautiful Greta, I will be checking out that video as need to give it s try. I too love Autumn for the colours, my fav season to craft for but not so keen on the colder darker days. And I totally love football, didn't realise you were a fan as well.

ReplyDeleteWow, wow, WOW!! That background you created is absolutely stunning, Greta! You really nailed the technique with this beautiful card. In fact, I think your background is way prettier than the one Lydia created.
