This card was fun to put together. I had something completely different in mind
when I started! Let me show you how I made this card!
I first took a piece of Strathmore 5" x 7" hot press watercolor paper and taped it
to my hardboard. Starting in the middle of the panel I brushed on Yellow Aqua
Pigments, then Yellow Orange on either side and then finally some Brown on
the ends.
To get this nice gradation of color I didn't wet my paper first. I simply took a
flat paintbrush and worked the pigments back and forth across my panel. I
left it to dry naturally. I had no warping. Next I heat embossed my images,
twice, using Golden Gourd Embossing Powder. I use this as a gold for all
my fall cards. Its gorgeous!
I die cut the sentiment and the extra pecans with a 1 1/2" stitched
hexagon die. I painted all of my images with the Aqua Pigments.
I mostly used the Yellow Orange and Brown. I made a mini slimline
card base from some mustard card stock. I cut a panel of plaid
paper from the Playful Plaid Collection and cut it 1/4" smaller
than the base. I backed the plaid piece with some rich red card
stock and adhered that between the base and plaid paper.
I splattered my painted panel with a rich gold watercolor and then trimmed it to
2 1/4" x 5 1/2" and adhered it to the card. I fussy cut my pie slices and pecans. I
foam taped the sentiment to the middle of the card. I foam taped the pie slices on
either side of the sentiment. Then I used 3 of the pecans and adhered them flat.
I used gold holo confetti and a bit of Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze on the pecans.
And that finished my card!
This card took some twists and turns but I love how it came out! Easy
as pie! (LOL). You can find the products I used at
