My first card uses Distress Paints. I used the paints on the background and on my die cut leaves. I applied Rock Candy Crackle Paint to the leaves and love how they turned out.
Here's a close-up of the beauties.
For my next card I used Distress Paints on the background, Red Variegated Gold Leafing on the stamped medallion and Antiquities Embossing Powder on the sentiment. It was fun to pull out the Gold Leafing, I haven't used it in ages.
Here's a closer look at the shiny colours.
Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Thanksgiving Weekend to my fellow Canadians.
Two gorgeous cards, Sue! I absolutely love the look of your leaves!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so pretty. Your leaf colors and crackling turned out great. Something about reading about YOUR gold leafing made me think I might have some somewhere in my stash. Now for the search. I like how your medallion took the gold leafing.
