Leaf Collage and Kaleidacolor create a fall backdrop for the new Thankful Jotted Script die set. It can be a Thanksgiving card - or a thank you card for a special gift or act of kindness. Hello, Jean Okimoto here with another November Challenge inspiration design.
Press the inks from the Tomato Vine Kaleidacolor onto a large acrylic block - keep the colors separated as though the inkpad is in storage. Use a tissue to remove the strip of brown ink. Spray the inks with two or three light spritzes of water.
Press watercolor paper onto the diluted inks, then rotate it 90 degrees to pick up more color. Set it aside to airdry. I like to use large pieces of watercolor paper so I can rotate it to find the perfect blend of colors for the collage.
Splatter a few drops of water onto the dried watercolor paper. Let it set for a few seconds, then press it with a double layer of folded papertowel to blot some of the color for a speckled look. Dry it.
Clean the acrylic block and press the inks onto it again. Use a damp paintbrush to splatter some of the Olive Green ink (between the brown and the yellow) with a damp paintbrush.
Cut white cardstock with the 3-½" x 4-¾" Wrapped Stitch Rectangle die. Cut the rectangle with Leaf Collage.
Trim the watercolor paper slightly smaller than the rectangle.
Diecut Thankful Jotted Script from white and bronze metallic cardstock.
Attach the diecuts to a white 4-½" x 6-¼" card.
Add ¼" circles of orange glittered cardstock.
Memory Box dies and Kaleidacolors are the perfect combination. Create great backgrounds or blend colors to create paint custom-colored diecuts. Color extra pieces of watercolor paper and have them ready for future projects.
