ATC A Month - Themes Tea/Coffee or the color of Fall (September 2008)
"Color of Fall"

It seems this product "Soft Flower" is quite a hit with Marie Browning and the European market. Not cheap but interesting. I though it looked like beautifully colored moss. I knew I had some moss at home, so decided to try coloring it and see what happens. I used Adirondack Color Wash (Terra Cotta) and some Memories Mist (Quite Yellow), sprayed a bit of the moss, let dry and then gently pulled it apart till I had very small pieces. Then applied it to my artwork much like you would some glitter or other embellishments. I also bought a couple of the stamps they designed to go with this Soft Flower stuff (a bike & a wishing well) although I've only used the bike so far. |

ID: Paste Emboss - Leaf 3 (unavailable) |
I colored in the leaves with Pan Pastels then on two of them I put a coat of white EP (but it was a bit thick so the color didn't show through and I put it aside), the other leaf I put a layer of translucent. I took the two I put aside and added pigment stamp pad and embossing powder, both regular and Opals in various colors layering and thermal embossing between layers. Didn't work out quite like the books, but is OK. Mounted them to copper metallic cardstock. |
