Vintage Leaves meet Rose Wonder

This card emerged from my continued experimentation with Emboss Resist and inky layers , however, it wasn't an easy birth!  Some cards come into existence easily, gracefully and in an ordered manner - which can't be said of this one!  This card emerged, kicking and screaming, in the breach position!

Vintage Leaves, Rose Wonder and Awesomely Artistic

Not happy with the way things were going, I kept changing plans and trying different things, so it's hard now to remember exactly what I did and in which order!

I can tell you that I started with Shimmery White cardstock.  I inked the top leaf with Versamark and Cajun Craze inks, stamped it and clear heat embossed it.  After sponging on colour, I used the Embossing Buddy and then sponged Versamark all over the leaf.  After adding the embossing powder, I cleaned away any excess from the edges of the leaf with a clean, dry paint brush then used the heat tool. 

The next step was to sponge the entire card with yellow ink - it looks to me like I may have started with a lighter yellow (maybe So Saffron or Daffodil Delight?).  I would have let the ink dry and then given it a very thorough wiping with the Embossing Buddy.

Using Versamark, Emerald Envy ink and a different leaf stamp, I then repeated the process I used for the for the first leaf - stamping, clear heat embossing, adding colour, wiping with the embossing buddy, adding versamark all over the leaf, adding embossing powder, removing excess with a paint brush, heating.   I would have done that for each leaf.

I sponged and stamped with a variety of inks and cut around the leaves before adhering the panel to a Cajun Craze card that I made to fit the panel. 

The leaves are popped up on small pieces of adhesive foam

I made a label with Crushed Curry card, Cajun Craze and Basic Black inks, the Rose Wonder stamp set and matching framelit and popped it up on Stampin' Dimensionals.

Another autumnal leaf appears inside the card

Thank you for your visit.
'Til next time!
