Mixed Media Fall Hello Card

Hello there! Today I’m sharing a fall card featuring products from Picket Fence Studios’ July release. Who else is ready for fall?!!

Fall Hello card by Andrea Shell | Layered Flora: Fall Foliage Dies by Picket Fence Studios

Those gorgeous leaves are from the Layered Flora: Fall Foliage Dies. Aren’t they awesome?! To create them, I first scribbled watercolor markers onto watercolor paper, spread the ink with water, and then dried it with my heat tool. I repeated the steps to build up the color before adding Opaque Black Paper Splatter. Once the paper was dry, I diecut it with the Fall Foliage Dies. I also diecut leaves from gold gllitter cardstock.

For my background I used the Tree Bark 6″x8″ Stencil. I placed the stencil over a panel of gray cardstock and pounced on gray ink with the Neutrals Paper Pouncers. I removed the stencil and blended the edges of the panel with the same ink using a Life Changing Blender Brush. To tie the background to the leaves, I added Opaque Black Paper Splatter before adhering the panel to a cardbase.

I cut a diagonal strip of gray cardstock and attached it to my card with foam squares, trimming off the excess. I diecut “hello” from black cardstock using the Hello to You Word Dies and glued it to the strip. Next, I tucked the leaves under the strip, securing them with liquid adhesive. I finished the card with some gold glitter gems.
