Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder Archives

The second of four projects from March’s Card Making Class was this pretty leaf ombre.

I chose Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Garden Green, along with Basic White for my colour combination.

First, the background ombre was created using Blending Brushes, starting with Crushed Curry.A gentle touch is needed for this part to avoid swirls and darker patches.

Next, a separate piece of cardstock was also coloured in readiness for the leaves to be cut out.

Both the leaves and sentiment pieces were cut out using the Changing Leaves Dies, part of the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder product in the Online Exclusives range. These items are currently in the Last Chance Products range, so make sure you grab them before they are discontinued.

Extra green was added to the leaves with the Blending Brushes as needed, while the sentiment from the Simply Said Stamp Set is also stamped.

A length of Linen Thread is attached to the back of the sentiment, along with two of the leaves.

The other leaves are stuck directly onto the project with the sentiment piece raised up on Dimensionals.

Finally, some Antique Pearls from the Mini Catalogue are added for a touch of bling.

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was inspired by the changing colours of the leaves, as autumn has well and truly arrived.

This project uses the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder that comes with matching dies. These are from the Online Exclusives range.

My colour combination is an autumnal Old Olive, Real Red, Crushed Curry with Crumb Cake accents.

To make the background, the colours were added to a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock with Blending Brushes.

This piece was then embossed using the Embossing Folder.

Additional leaves and the circle for the sentiment were then cut out using the matching dies.

Three lengths of Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack were then added across the project.

Next, the sentiment was stamped, this was from the Labeled with Love Stamp Set.

The leaves were then stuck to the project, with the sentiment added afterwards using Dimensionals.

Finally, sequins from the Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins pack provide a touch of sparkle. These were stuck to the non-embossed sections of the project.
