The Card Concept



This lovely fall cake for The Card Concept challenge is the inspiration for my watercolored leafy card design!  I loved the white on white texture and the falling leaves in the photo...perfect to use some of my fave leaf dies by Simon Says Stamp!  I used Crumb Cake ink with Tim Holtz' Stripes stencil then added texture by using Liquitex light modeling paste with a Tim Holtz Bubble stencil.  I watercolored a panel of Ranger watercolor cardstock using Mijello Mission Gold paints then die cut with SSS Stitched Maple Trio and Maple Leaf Corner.  I love the little stitching detail on these dies!  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps' Sending and Wishing set - one of my favorite go to sentiment sets! I love pairing it with their Sending die.  The stitched border is from Reverse Confetti's Edge Essential die set - another go to favorite!  I also used SU Soft Suede and Early Espresso cardstock.  I'm not sure what to call this style, but think it fits the mixed media definition.

Looking forward to the next 3 days off!  Getting my flu shot and planning/shopping for our pastor appreciation table at church is on my agenda!  Have a great Wednesday everyone!
