    Cardstock Vellum #101856       1 x 5 -1/8

   Corrugated Paper #138317       2 x 3   

Instructions:

1. Use the Big Shot and the Woodlands Embossing Folder to emboss the Watercolor Paper

2.  Paint the trees with the Versamark ink using the pen if you have one, or the aqua painter and the Versamark ink refill. Cover with white embossing powder, shake off the excess and heat set.

3. Lay the art piece down on paper towel, squeeze the Aqua Painter for a couple drops of water and wet the entire piece.

4. Starting with Crumb Cake, add a little color at the top and bottom of the piece.

5. Using Cajun Craze, add some color to the middle of the piece.

6. Add a little Soft Suede to the top and bottom to darken a little.

7. Add some Delightful Dijon to the top of the center Cajun Craze section.

8. Add a small amount of Bermuda Bay to the top section and blend well to lighten.

9. Add a little Old Olive in the bottom brown sections.

TIP – keep your paper wet the entire time you are adding the color so that it blends well.

10. Let the piece dry or dry it with your heat tool.

 11. Use the small leaf stamp from Among the Branches to gold emboss leaves across the top section of the trees.

12. Using Fast Fuse, attach the art piece to the mat and then to the card base.

13. Gold emboss the sentiment on the right side of the vellum along with a couple of leaves.

Attach it to the bottom of the card front, up about ¼ of an inch. I used glue dots to attach it, as they are strong.

14. Die cut the leaf from the Corrugated Paper and attach with glue dots.

15. Loop the gold metallic thread 3 times, secure with a piece of tape and attach to the leaf with a glue dot.

16. Stamp, color and cut out the small leaf and then attach it over the tread with a Dimensional.

17. Clean your stamps with the Stampin Scrub and Mist
