Falling for Wednesday Hop
Colors of Fall
Good day, fellow crafters. Today I present to you my entry for Week 1 in the Falling for Wednesdays IG Hop sponsored by @kellysantidesigns. The theme for this week is Colors of Fall and I think I have this one clearly in the bag. Outside of the fresh buds of spring, there is nothing like the crisp and beautiful colors mother nature gives us in the fall. I really hope that what I have put together here serves as an inspiration for you to craft something of your own. Enjoy.
This card was really a blast to put together and it was super simple. To create the background panel I first took some white cardstock and the Honey Bee Stamps A2 Cover Plate and cut out the image using my die-cutting machine. Pretty straightforward forward right? But now let’s apply the magic sauce…Distress Oxide Mica Stains! I am so in love with this product as it leaves (get it? Leaf plural is Leaves) an incredible luster that a still image just can’t replicate. Just a few spritzes of color and you end up with a real wow factor.
For the background panel itself, I used Tart Cranberry, Fortune Teller, Mulled Cider, Harvest Moon, and of course Fallen Acorn. Since the cover plate has cut out I took a second piece of white cardstock and the Mica Stain in Specimen, which is a green color, and spritzed it. Once everything was dry, I adhered them together and then onto a pre-cut A2 white card base, which can’t be seen in the photo because that’s what a cover plate is meant to do. That was it, but the wow statement this makes in person is amazing and I highly recommend that you give this product a try, I know you will be hooked on it too.
CREATORS NOTE: Now saying how much I love this product is just half of the story as it does need to come with a warning. Just as the package says it is a Stain and it behaves just like one. Be very careful where you spray if you don’t have a splatter box, I would recommend taking it outside. I also advise not being tempted to touch it until it dries as it will smear and even when it does dry it will leave a film that can be smeared if not careful.
