Thanks Autumn Leaf Card

 Hello! Today I am sharing a Thanks Autumn Leaf card that I made.

Some of the products I have used in this post have been provided to me by various companies. The opinions I share are solely my own. Affiliate links may be used where possible at no cost to you. However, I do earn a small commission when you click on my links and make a purchase from them. Thank you, and I appreciate your support!

To create my card, the first thing I did was create the background for the leaf. To do that, I used a piece of the The Crafter's Workshop Watercolor Paper Pack sprayed it with water and then sprinkled on some of the The Crafter's Workshop ColorSparx® in Grasslands, and then sprayed it with water again. Then dried it using my heat tool.
Once it was dry, I placed the The Crafter's Workshop Skeletal Leaf over it and used a VersaMark ink pad over the stencil. Once I felt it was inked up well I poured on some gold embossing powder and heat set it with my heat gun. Then I fussy cut out the leaf.
I die cut out a white frame to add to the front of the dark brown card base and then attached the leaf to the front of the card and added a die-cut sentiment.


Interested in the products I used? Products that are still available are linked to multiple shops below, for your convenience.
Lists may contain affiliate links where possible at no cost to you, what so ever. Affiliate and product disclosure can be found here.
I design for several companies because I genuinely love their products! Anything I recommend on my blog is something that I genuinely love and regularly use. I buy most of my own supplies. However, I do receive some free products to work with, and I sometimes make money for the projects I make. I DO NOT get paid for product reviews, I give my honest opinion about the products I use, and I will never recommend a product that I do not like or would not use.

    Hi! I just saw this very gorgeous card! I do not understand how I use the colors. Does it need to be mixed with something in particular? Do you add water and paint with it? Thank you for letting me know! I LOVE the vibrancy of the colors!

    Thank you!

      Hello, Traci! Thank you!
      The colors are a fine powder that react with water. I sprayed my paper with water and then lightly squeezed the ColorSparx bottles so puffs of the powder would spray out onto the water on the paper.
      I have a video I made a little while back that shows how the ColorSparx works with the water. You can watch it here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhn7_EOimb8&list=PL-1MN0ldva9ZQzQETKLPhkL0bU32haaHV&index=6
