Video: Reactive Glitz Fall Leaves Thank You Card

Hi everyone! Ilina here! With the weather cooling down a little down here in Georgia and with the fact that it's already September, I thought it was perfect timing to start creating some Fall inspired cards.

Today I am using the Fall Pattern stamp set along with the Fall Pattern Cover Plate . I also am using the new Reactive Glitz Inks – they are amazing!!!
To make the card start with a piece of Deluxe Smooth White cardstock cut to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". Using an Extra Large Blending Brush , ink blend the following Reactive Glitz inks: Egyptian Blue, Byzantine Green , Naples Yellow and Spanish Orange .

To create some texture and interest, splatter a little bit of water, White Acrylic Spray (I put a few drops on a stamping block and flicked over the background) and then some White Iridescent Shimmer Mist as well. Let it dry completely.

Watch the video below to see the entire process, or click HERE to watch on YouTube.

Once completely dry, stamp the Fall Pattern using Intens-ified Black ink and emboss with Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder. Die cut the leaves.

On a piece of Deluxe Smooth White cardstock measuring 4" x 5 1/4", stamp the sentiment using Intens-ified Black ink. Arrange several of the leaves above the sentiment and adhere using foam squares or any other adhesive of your choice. Using foam tape, adhere the panel to a piece of Bermuda cardstock measuring 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and adhere to a Dove White Side Folded Card .
Thank you so much for stopping by. Hope you have an amazing day!
