Treats on Tuesday with Christine - La gâterie du mardi avec Christine


Hi Everyone, I wanted to create something for the fall before all the leaves disappear from the trees. 
On one of my walks with dog this week I picked a few of maple leaves off the trees, they were so pretty with a mix of red and green. I place the leaves between two pieces of Mixed Media paper and run it through my die cutting machine using a thin die plate arrangement.
This is what came out when I peeled off the leaves, aren't the colours wonderful. The one on the left is the start of my Leafy card, the one on the right will be used another day.


I smooshed some distress oxide inks into my craft matt, spritzed it with a little water and then applied it to the card using a piece of acetate. The acetate allowed me to place the ink around the pressed leaf images without too much overlap. I then stamped some leaves around the edge using a few different colours of Distress Oxide inks. I stamped a leaf on watercolour paper using Versamark ink, heat embossed it with Platinum Embossing powder and watercoloured it with distress oxide ink.



I cut my plant pressed images into half and kept the second piece a little simpler.

Beautiful and creative ways to use your pressed Fall leaves, Christine. I loved all your layering and colors you achieved. So artsy and a wonderful way to celebrate the beautiful colors from the leaves you picked on your walk. I wish I could watch you create IRL my friend. TFS your detailed description too. Love and Hugs..Nancy
