I absolutely love the COLORFUL SEASONS BUNDLE….but I found myself just thinking FALL CARDS when I looked at the leaves.  Here in Michigan right now it is so green, so I decided to make a SUMMER CARD using the leaves.  I did a very quick & easy watercolor on the leaves.  Check out my video showing how to watercolor, along with a few other stamping tips!

I am also going to try to make more videos!!!  PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT IF YOU LIKE VIDEOS WITH CARD TIPS!!!  My focus is STAMPING MADE SIMPLE!  Card making should be simple and that is what I love to share with you!

Now, back to the card:

 

• Crumb Cake Card Base:  8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
• Basic Black:  5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″
• Whisper White:  5″ x 3 3/4″
• Basic Black:  1″ x 5″ (trim to size after punching and stamping)
• Garden Green scrap for leaf
• Linen Thread
• Inside:  Whisper White:  5 1/4″ x 4″

• Video shows how to do the simple watercoloring
• Stamp larger leaves first.  After stamping each one, simply go over to color in with an AquaPainter
• Don’t worry about staying in lines or filling in perfectly–you want a “watercolor look”
• Fill in with small solid leaves.  Use AquaPainter to go around edges
• Gently add “speckles” using Black pad and stamp from Timeless Textures–BE GENTLE!!!  You don’t want too dark!
• Not sure how to EMBOSS THE WORDS–CLICK HERE for my video showing how!

Don’t forget the inside!
