Autumn Leaves

(The scanner couldn't quite get the colors right. The card base is a light peachy-orange, the dots and the sentiment are purple and the leaves are red, purple and orange.)

Anyway... I started this A2-sized card by stamping the purple dots (Savvy Stamps). I used Distress Oxide inks to color some mixed media heavy-weight paper and misted them with water. After that dried, I die cut the leaves using those papers, arranged them on the card and glued them in place. Then, I stamped the sentiment (Hero Arts).

Butterfly Kisses

This card was an easy one to make. I started with a off white-colored, A2 card base. I started making the background by scoring cross-wise at 1/2" intervals and lengthwise at 1/4" intervals. My Scor-Pal helped with this. Then, I inked my butterfly stamp (My Sentiments Exactly) with Distress Oxide in Dusty Concord. Quickly after that, I inked French Script (Stampin' Up!) in Distress Oxide Black Soot. Then, I lightly touched the butterfly to the script, or the "kissed" technique. Next, I stamped the butterfly to the scored card base.
