Fall-ing Gypsy Oak Leaves by Jean Okimoto

Capture the colors of a autumn sunset on a background for the new Gypsy Oak Leaves. Heat-embossed speckles and the new Happy Fall Posh Script greeting add golden highlights. Hi, Jean here - with another way to use the great new die from the Vintage Tray 3D Embossing Folder set.

Attach Vintage Tray 3D Embossing Folder die to smooth white cardstock and create ink-blended blocks of warm fall pastels. Distress Oxides were used here - spiced marmalade, kitsch flamingo, wild honey and dried marigold. Remove and clean the die and heat-set the inks.

The new Snow Flurries Stencil is great for random scattered speckles - perfect for those of us who are ink-splatter-challenged. Stencil a few of the dots with VersaMark and heat-emboss them with detail gold powder. Diecut the blocks - save the extras for another project.

Cut Gypsy Oak Leaves from light- and medium-coral cardstock. Assemble the leaves - slightly offset.

Glue 2 layers of white cardstock together and diecut the Happy Fall Posh Script Background. Pressure-emboss it with the detailed greeting using the rubber embossing mat and plate(s) required for your machine. Cut the detailed greeting from the gold Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad 6x6.

Attach the diecuts to a white A6 card (6-¼" x 4-½"). Add light gold Autumn Fairy Crystals. Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Thanks for visiting...have a great weekend!
