Hello, everyone! It's
Broni here with you today to show you what I created for this
month's
ePlay Challenge: Fall.
I decided to go with one of the first techniques I learned way back when I first
started stamping. Before the days of alcohol markers.
I pulled out my
Ranger alcohol inks, my
alcohol blending solution, my
alcohol ink applicator and some
glossy paper. And this is what I came up with:
First I used my
TCW Mini Onion Skin 6x6 stencil and my
ink applicator to apply some Lettuce alcohol ink to my
background panel.
Then I applied some Cranberry and Butterscotch inks to my applicator with a
little bit of the blending solution and dabbed it directly onto my solid maple
leaf stamp and stamped it onto some more
glossy paper.
I then proceeded to use a different applicator pad for each of my combination of
inks. (Colors: Cranberry, Butterscotch, Lettuce, Wild Plum) Each time I
applied a new color combo some of the dried color from the previous application
to the stamp was reactivated. This resulted in many different varieties of color
combinations. Kind of what you'd actually find in autumn leaves!
I found that I couldn't stop myself! I ended up with many, many leaves to use
on future projects! I really love the ones on which you can see the veins!
Finally I used each of the previously used pads and coated some more
glossy paper allowing all the colors to blend together. I
stamped my maple leaf outline stamp in
Ranger Archival Jet
Black ink several times.
Then I cut out a few of my favorite leaves and added them to my card front along
with a simple sentiment and some sequins.
And that's it! Pretty simple, but that's how I've been rolling lately. I love
the clean fresh look of this card! Who says autumn colors have to be deep and
dark??
Now it's your turn. Let's see what you come up with for the
ePlay challenge!! I can't wait!
