Crackle Paint Leaves :: StampsandScrapbooks.com

This leaf card was created using a technique I learned from "My Boyfriend, Tim!" I cut leaves from the Autumn Leaves Bigz Die out of Chipboard. I painted the leaves with Distress Crackle Paint and let it air dry. (You cannot use a heat tool to speed the drying! ) The thicker the paint, the bigger the cracks. Once it is completely dry, drop a couple of drops of reinkers onto the crackled leaves. I used Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke.

The card design is the same one I used HERE. The base card is Cherry Cobbler Cardstock. The next layer is Pumpkin Pie Cardstock. The Whisper White layer was run through the Big Shot using the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Burlap Ribbon was run across the front of the card and then Pumpkin Pie Chevron Ribbon was layered on top of the Burlap Ribbon. The edges were cut with a Craft Scissor that is used only for cutting Ribbon so that it stays nice and sharp.

The greeting is from the Express Yourself Stamp Set with Pumpkin Pie Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock. The banner edge was cut with a 1" Square Punch. It was then layered onto Cherry Cobbler Cardstock and attached to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The card was finished with a Vintage Faceted Designer Button with a piece of Early Espresso Stitched Grosgrain ribbon tied and attached to it using a Glue Dot. If you'd like to make this card yourself, Visit my ONLINE STORE!
