Hi everyone! I have a fall card featuring, one of my favorite dies, Rustic Watering Can. I used the sunflowers from the Flower Basket Bouquet set.
I am using a gelli plate for ink smooshing coloring all my papers except the watering can. Just smoosh the ink on the gelli plate and pick up with paper. The paper I used Tim Holtz mixed media card stock in cream. Dry in between layers to create texture. Add water droplets and dry with paper towel.
For the background I used Distress ink in Vintage Photo and heavy on the water. Once dry I 3D embossed using the Gracious Leaves folder. I used a Gold Delicata ink pad to swipe on the top of the raised surface and repeated lightly with StazOn Spiced Chai ink. Use the same ink around the outside edges. Then lightly ink blend around the edges used the Vintage Photo ink. Adhere to a A2 white card.
For the flowers use Lumberjack Plaid and Seedless Preserves. For the flowers centers I used Wold Honey. I also added some splatting with the ink and water. Die cut the sunflower dies several times
For the leaves I used the same technique but using Crushed Olive. I used the larger leaves die from the Woven Flower Basket.
I added shading to the die cuts. For the leaves it was Forest Moss. For the red flowers and centers I used Aged Mahogany. For the purple flowers Seedless Preserves.
Shape the flowers and leaves using a medium large stylist. Adhere the layers of flowers together with glue and the centers with foam tape.
Die cut the Rustic Watering Can from the same mixed media paper. Ink blend lightly with Peeled Paint and Vintage Photo. Lightly add a layer of metallic wax over the top, allowing the colors to show underneath but give it a metal look.
Adhere the can to the card using foam tape in the center and glue on the edges to give it dimension. Arrange and adhere the flowers and leaves around the can.
