Autumn Theme Week- Day 4

Hello friends! It’s Ashley with a pretty metallic card to help celebrate Autumn Theme week here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog!

I love to use nontraditional colors on my holiday and seasonal colors, and fall cards are no exception. One of my favorite colors for fall is pink! It goes so well with golds, especially in leaf piles like the one in the Leaf Frame die.

I started my card by blending Distress inks in Aged Mahogany and Tattered Rose onto white cardstock. I splattered the piece with watered down gold acrylic paint and used my heat gun to dry the drops. I cut the Leaf Frame die from more white cardstock and added it to the ink blended background. 

I used the Leaf Frame on metallic gold cardstock and gold glitter cardstock, taking care to keep the pieces together the best I could so nothing got lost. I then used the gold cuts to fill in the leaves of my white frame.

For my sentiment, I stamped the “thankful” script word from Woodland Thanks in VersaMark ink and embossed it with gold metallic embossing powder. I then stamped over it with VersaMark a second time and embossed again, this time with gold glitter embossing powder to create a glittery gold main sentiment. I cut it out with the matching die and added it to my card. I finished the sentiment with a phrase from Woodland Thanks, stamped in VersaMark and embossed with gold metallic powder.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
