1. First we are going to prepare paper for all die cuts. So, let's take first piece of watercolor paper and color it with different  Distress Inks: Peeled Paint, Rusty Hinge, Fossilized Amber, Fired brick...


2. Now spray a water on it, to cause colors to move and blend. Leave it to dry or speed the drying process with heat gun.


3. If you want you can add more layers of colors, but after each layer of color and water, paper needs to dry.


4. With Autumn Foliage cut foliage out of previous colored watercolor paper. This will give beautiful autumn look. If you want, you can distress edges with the same distress inks, which were used for coloring the paper.


5. Take another piece of watercolor paper and color just with different shades of orange distress inks and spray it with water. Cut the pumpkins out of it.

AUTUMN THEMED THANK YOU CARD.

Hello everyone... Anita here.

The colour of the day is turning in a new shade of warm orange.. the leaves are drying, changing colour and there is a warmth in the air with the nature basking in new shades of FALL.

CottageCutz has recently released some new fall themed dies and they are so beautiful. You must try them to create beautiful fall projects.

I have a quick simple card for you today keeping in mind that cardmaking is in full swing during this season and one needs a large number of cards. So here is a sample which can be made in 15-20 minutes and they look good.

So here it is.



To make this card, make a card base 5.5inches by 4.25inches with light yellow card stock.
Emboss a white piece of card stock measuring 4inches by 5.25 inches in a brick texture embossing folder. Adhere on the card front.
Distress the design with Pumice stone and Peeled Paint distress ink.
Cut out  2 shapes from the CottageCutz Tree frame die and few from  CottageCutz Autumn Foliage die
Paste the two frame dies together to get a thick die cut. 
Colour with Brushed Corduroy and Peeled Paint distress ink.
Add on a black matte layer.
Colour all the leaves with Distress inks-Rusty Hinge and Mowed Lawn.
