Hi Spellbinders fans. Alanna Moses from EmbellishCraftLove.com and I am very excited to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog today. Today, I am working with the Falling Leaves collection. This collection has a press plate with coordinating stencil, a 3D embossing folder, and three wax seals. All of these products are so beautiful and pair perfectly together.
For my first card, I started by taking the Autumn Rain BetterPress and Stencil Bundle and used my BetterPress machine to ink up the press plate. I used the Opal Blush Shimmer Interference Ink Pad from Lisa Horton Crafts. I then used the coordinating stencils to color the umbrellas and leaves. I trimmed this out using one of the dies from the Mirrored Arch Labels die set.
I used my Platinum 6 machine and embossed some white cardstock using the Oak Forest 3D embossing folder. I trimmed the panel down and then blended on some light brown ink over top of it. I added this to a kraft A2 notecard. I then added in a sentiment from the Always and Forever Sentiment Strips Press Plate and die set. I pressed it using the Betterpress black ink pad onto Porcelain Cotton Cardstock. I used the coordinating die to cut it out and then added some light brown ink over top. I added foam tape to the back and added it to the embossed background.
For my second card, I started by embossing the Oak Forest 3D embossing folder. I added kraft card stock that had been die cut using the Nestabilities Labels Eight die set inside the embossing folder but before I ran it through my Platinum 6 machine, I added brown ink to the debossed side of the embossing folder. I repeated this process two more times to deepen the brown-inked background. I love that this left the acorns and leaves un-inked. I used the Mini Blending Brushes and added in some green, red, and orange inks into the leaves.
I decided my panel needed a bit of splatter, so I added some brown shimmer spray and some brown paint. I then added my sentiment which is from the Handwritten Sentiments die set. I finished off the card by adding in some coordinating gems in a visual triangle.
