Don't these colors make you think Autumn?! That's where my mind went and this is what I came up with...
I started by ink blending a background with DOX inks in Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, & Fired Brick. When it was dry I added a piece of 2 sided sticky sheet over one side of a piece of heavy vellum and the other side to the ink blended background. Next I ran it through my SSS Falling Leaves ef. I loved how the piece of vellum looked but you couldn't really see the ink blended colors! Maybe if I had used thinner light weight vellum it would have shown through better...next time! I ink blended another piece of cs and then foiled it with SB's Autumn Leaf Border and gold foil...I think it turned out beautiful!!
I added a Crushed Curry (SU!) card base to the vellum layer and then added the ink blended and foiled strip across the vellum layer. I added 2 tiny strips of black cs to the edges of the foiled strip and then finished with a die cut sentiment from MB (Just A Note). Even though my background didn't turn out the way I pictured it in my head, I still love the way this card turned out!
Make sure you check out all the beautiful cards from the DT and our Special GD Crystal Minkler for inspiration and then play along with us! We'd love to see YOU in the gallery! This challenge is open till Wednesday, Oct. 14th @ 9:00AM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
