Let's get started !!

Hi everyone, I have a fun and easy Fall Card tutorial for you today for the

MFP Stamp Shop Blog Hop.

Easy Leaf Card Background

By Sandy Hentzel

Item needed:

Watercolor Paper

Flower Punch

Watercolor medium:

(I used Distress Markers)

Water

Water Brush/ Paint Brush

Fine Tip pen

Adhesive

(heat gun optional)

Step 1:

Using your markers, scribble color randomly all over the watercolor paper.

The messier, the better.

Step 2:

Blend all the colors together with water and your water brush.

This will look like a hot mess but once it is dried, it will look great!

(air dry before continuing or use your heat gun to dry faster)

Step 3:

With your flower punch, you want to punch out as many flowers as you think you will need.

I always punch a little extra to save for a later project.

(any flower punch can be used)

Step 4 and 5:

Cut the flowers into individual petals

and start to line the veins of the leaves with your fine point pen.

Step 6:

Glue down all your leaves on your card stock.

I normally don't use glue sticks, but for this technique;

I want to make sure all the leaves are covered with glue.

(so go raid your kiddos' art boxes!)

Step 7:

Start to decorate your card. For this card, I did a border with the cardstock and border punch. Then using fine detail embossing powder, I stamped and embossed my sentiment.

Extra Tip:

The embossing powder I have is fine detail for little letters but it is soooo white and this card is Fall colors. So I used my TH Distress Marker in Vintage Photo, and I colored over the letters to get a more cream color vs the bright white.

Finished Card:

Lastly, using the same markers, I applied the ink to the leaf stamp and fussy cut the leaf. I used TH Tea Dye ink and distressed the leaf so it wasn't so white. As you can see below, this is my favorite Fall stamp set by MFP Stamp Shop.
