How to Make a Gorgeous Fall Card with Simple Ink Blending!

Create a beautiful Autumn leaf to use on cards, packaging, and layouts with this easy technique! Seriously, this method is so haphazard, you will be successful every time! I’ve used the new Gathering Moments stamp and die set for this beautiful, stitched leaf:

I paired the Gathering Moments stitched leaf with the Gold Hoops and the Gathering Leaves embossing folder for a clean and simple, but still interesting, layout design.

Interestingly, although I didn’t use Cajun Craze ink in the leaf at all, those Cajun Crazy and Gold Embellishments toned in just perfectly.

Here’s what I used:

1. Blend Darling Duckling, Cherry Cobbler, and Blackberry Bliss ink in messy splodges on Basic White Cardstock.
2. Blend Pecan Pie ink over the top until the desired color and effect is achieved.
3. Splatter with water and let dry.
4. Die cut out.
5. Blend Early Espresso ink around the edges.
6. Draw in the stitching with an Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker.
