Hi! I’m here with a card inspired by several fun Fall Challenges.
I created the plaid leaf by first sponging an ombre background (red to yellow from the stem to the leaf tip). Then I repeatedly masked off portions of the leaf and sponged on ink. I love using this technique.
I used a “Thankful” die from CUTplorations.
I sponged on a red band and attached the white panel to the orange cardstock.
I attached the leaf and the die cut with foam tape.
I really like this card. A plaid leaf!? Sponging, ink blending, lots of red (my favorite color to use when making cards), ombre Autumn colors? I don’t normally make the same card twice, but I may have to repeat this one. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
Grace & Peace,
Melissa
