For our Colour challenge this month we have chosen
Autumn's Bounty
Sounds kinda poetic doesn't it...
so we'd love to see autumnal shades in your cards.
Don't forget to make them CAS of course!
Now it's been absolutely ages since I joined in the fun at Less is More but as I'd just made this card and it fitted the theme then I thought I'd give it a go.
At club tonight one of our projects is showing them the faux pearl technique as demonstrated so wonderfully by my ATCAS DT pal Loll of Stamping with Loll. I decided to try out my Brushos to see if they worked with the faux pearl technique and to my delight they really did. I die cut my Memory Box fern and coloured it with Brushos and then when my pearl paint was dry I sprinkled the crystals on the card and spritzed with water. I layered it up on some brown cardstock, placed a brown strip across with the fern over the top. The sentiment is SU punched with a circle punch and I added a ribbon.
This is really a great technique so pop on over and watch Loll's YouTube video.
Happy crafting.

Wonderful autumn colours used here and the fern is right for the season too. I bet the pearl effect is great when seen for real because photos and scans don't really do it justice.
ReplyDeleteFab colour on your background !! Superb card !!

ReplyDeleteOoh, like that! And you used those Brusho's at last. Good for you Karen. I like the background you made but am not sure how you did it - secret? Great fern and with pearl - mmm... must investigate.
