On clear plastic I dropped alcohol
inks in various greens all over. In and around the greens I dropped some yellows
and reds. Let dry a bit. Using the tip of the paint brush, I touched the
surfaces with various colors to get smaller designs. Continued playing with
adding colors in and around other drops and watched as the colors pushed each
other away, forming glorious rings and spots. Set aside to dry completely. Then
trim to approx 4” x 6” or depending on where you put your slits in the next
step.
With SCAL software & my Cricut, I positioned some maple leaves in various sizes
and directions, keeping them within a 4.25” x 6.25” area and leaving a spot
vacant for my quote, then cut out my design using cream cardstock. Trimmed the
cardstock down to size. Rubber stamped the quote (Quietfire
Design) with Versafine black stamp pad and clear thermal embossed.
With the c-thru ruler, I drew lines approx .25” away from the edges and jumping
over any protruding stamping and cut outs. I Drew a second line to the inside of
these lines just less than 1/5” w. Cut with an x-acto knife staying away from
the intersecting lines of the four corners.
