Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I'm ready for Fall. How about you?
I'm hosting at CAS Mix Up this month and I want us to use
things from nature on our cards. Go to your garden and pick leaves or flowers
and use them to make art.
I used Heather's gel print leaves technique with a maple leaf.
My mixed media are die cutting, dry embossing, heat embossing and
of course stamping.
I can't wait for you to see what our fabulous Design Team and Guest Designer, Izzy
have done. You'll get lots of inspiration there and more links to
techniques using botanical prints.
Hope to see you in the gallery at CAS Mix Up!

I love this technique, I have to try it sometime. Your maple leaf looks so amazing against a background in fall colors. The golden element adds elegance to the card.

This is brilliant, love the colours. That little gold leaf spray is such a lovely extra detail. Thanks for choosing such a fabulous technique for the challenge this month xx
ReplyDeleteThis is the most amazing idea and I'm so glad you chose it for our theme this month! I had the most fun and still have several backgrounds to use later. Your single leaf on the vivid background is striking! Love the gold with it. Wowie, thanks, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE your Gorgeous Leaf print using your gelli plate...I must try your technique, my friend!!! Your Autumn colors, gold splatters and die cut leaves were beautiful and your creative CAS design so beautiful. Thank you again for choosing such a fun and creative challenge, Bonnie.

I'll just say if for everyone...WOW! This is just gorgeous. You got every teensy bit of the veining on that leaf...and the colors scream Fall. Adding the golden leaf vine is like the cherry on top of the perfect sundae. Impressive!
