Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It's time for a new challenge at Krafty Chicks.
This week's challenge is All Occasions and I've done a Thanksgiving card.
I used my leaf Glimmer plate and gold foil on Mixed Media paper to get this row of
leaves ready to color.
To color, I used Distress Markers swiped on my palette picked up with
my waterbrush.
The die cut leaves have been embossed and shaped but the photo doesn't
show that very well.
I've used Gold foil as a thin mat and for the thin frame. The sentiment is my favorite
for Thanksgiving and I'm sorry to say it's long been retired.
I hope you'll join us this week at Krafty Chicks with your cards
for Occasions. And do check out all the awesome cards the Design Team has
to inspire you!

ReplyDeleteWOW!! This is a STUNNER Bonnie! I am absolutely loving the gold foiling on cards and really need to get braver and pull mine out more often...it adds so much richness to a card!! And I can see the texture on your leaves just fine Bonnie...they are soooo pretty and between the foiling, texture, and coloring, they all look FABULOUS! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteThis is the epitome of GORGEOUSNESS! WOW! What a wonderful thing to see first thing this morning. Love the foiling and the rich autumn colors. The gold frames finish it off perfectly! Those thin frames are not easy since they easily distort but you did it perfectly!

Beautiful leaves! Great use of the thin frame to border the sentiment - love the way it's tilted rather than completely horizontal.
ReplyDeleteLove the elegance the gold adds! This is beautiful, Bonnie! You should enter this over at IB, we have a leafy theme this week ;)
ReplyDeleteI definitely see the gloss and texture on the leaves. Lovely card.
ReplyDeleteA row of such beautiful leaves Bonnie and I love the colours and the gold foiling is gorgeous..a great font for the sentiment and love the way you have added the thin frame over it, a brilliant card. x
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I have been afraid to open the door to foiling, but when I see so many cards with how pretty it is (like yours!) I feel like I need to get on board!

Holy Moly this is gorgeous! So breathtaking Bonnie
ReplyDeleteBonnie, there is SO much beauty here, I just don't know where to focus! I love the gold accents of course, but your coloring almost makes the leaves look metallic. And that scripty sentiment? Wow! Love this one!
ReplyDeleteElegant and beautiful! Thank you for joining our challenge at Four Seasons!

Pure gorgeousness, just like fall! I saw the embossed texture right away. I'm not at all acquainted with the workings of a hot foil system, but I sure am loving the look it turns out. Your gift for design is a plus, too. So beautiful, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteps: Sorry, I meant to say "thanks for sharing with us at Four Seasons", but I got so caught up in the beauty of your card I forgot.
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely a fall lover. This foiling compliments perfectly the warmness of these colours. Another beauty xx
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the gorgeous autumn leave foiled border, Bonnie! The rich colors are beautifully paired with gold. The tilted frame is a wonderful design element. The font style of the sentiment is perfect for this elegant card!

The gold framing is lovely and the leaves really do add such pzazz. No wonder that you love the sentiment stamp. Wish I could write like that!
