Shaded Spruce Thanks

The Shaded Spruce Thanks card is created using the Falling for Leaves stamp set.  I used the color wash technique so that the color on the leaf is spread around.

Fall comes in so many colors.  This Shaded Spruce Thanks card has a wonderful glow to it.  You can’t really even see how there are a few different colors used for inking.  Adding the thread and gems is a way to top off the card and bring some attention to the leaf.  Also, using the Aqua Painter for the watercolor spreads the ink as light or as dark as you would like.  

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Falling for Leaves (147680) or bundle with dies (149938)
Cardstock & Paper: Shimmery White (101910), Shaded Spruce (146981), Soft Sea Foam (16988), Silver Foil Sheets (132178)
Ink: Shaded Spruce (147088), Balmy Blue (147105), Pool Party (147107), Soft Sea Foam (147102)
Miscellaneous: Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (143263), Detailed Leaves Thinlits Dies (147921) or bundle with stamp set (149938), Silver Metallic Thread (138402), Clear Faceted Gems (144142), Aqua Painter (103954), SNAIL Adhesive (104332), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430)

4. Stamp the large leaf in Shaded Spruce onto Shimmery White cardstock.

6. Die cut the leaf with the Detailed Leaves Thinlits.
