Hello friends! I'm sharing a card today created for the Tim Holtz Sizzix Chapter 4 Facebook Reveal.
I used the new Sizzix Leaf Print Thinlits set and a Stamper's Anonymous Gingham Stencil.

Love the different ways you can use this leaf set, can never have enough leaves!
For the stencilling, apply Ranger's Distress Crackle Texture Paste TDA71303 on your black kraftstock. I didn't use the whole stencil, just a portion of the centre and the edges weren't even. While this was still wet, apply Fossilized Amber Embossing Glaze. I just used my fingers to apply, as I just wanted it the central area, tap off the excess, and apply a small amount with the Crackling Campfire Embossing glaze on the edges. You will have the two colours mix a bit, that's why I didn't want to use a lot, because it won't go back in your jar. You can always save the extra in a little bag for future use. Set this aside to air dry, and then once dry, heat with your heat tool. You can apply a small amount of Distress Crayon in the cracks to accent them.

Next, I die-cut the solid Leaf Framelits from Tim Holtz Ephemera pieces. Some were labels, others, small journalling tags, but they all had a beige tone. I like that the printing is quite small on the ephemera, so it shows underneath the small leaves. You can always use patterned cardstock too. The coordinating Thinlits were die-cut with Metallic Kraftstock which I had applied adhesive sheets(Sizzix Adhesive Sheets) behind, before cutting out. I also cut out a leaf framelit (this will be solid) in metallic kraftstock, this goes behind the word, 'True'.
I added a bit of colour to my die-cut printed pieces with Distress ink( it was Crackling Campfire) before adhering the Metallic Kraftstock. I also die-cut a few pieces of the Holiday Brushstroke Thinlits 664736 in metallic for extra foliage.
My words were die-cut used Tim Holtz Alphanumeric Tiny Type Upper Thinlits set and the Metallic Kraftstock. 'True' was die-cut from my first reject of stencilled cardstock. Never throw out the rejects!
I also applied adhesive sheets to the backs before die-cutting. The solid leaf was distressed before adhering the word 'true'. Adhere all your letters, leaves and foliage. To finish off my card, I dyed a piece of seam binding with Crackling Campfire distress spray, made a bow and a small baseboard piece from
Junk Drawer Baseboards TH94044 was also adhered. This was adhered to my kraft card base.
Thanks so much for visiting, I will be back with more of my holiday makes!
Until next time,
Jan
