...and She continues to bubble!


I am having so much fun looking at how to use these bubbles backgrounds with my images. After seeing the branch of leaves hanging over my driveway turn to gold and a few leaves falling I felt it was time to pull out some leaf stamps.

.

The background leaves are stamped in distress ink and the ones in the forground are heat embossed with fall splendor embossing powder by Powder Keg. I love these embossing powders with mixed colors. I feel they add more interest to the embossing. After taking MANY closeup pics this is the best I can capture to show the sparkle. Yes, you can click to get a larger view. The paint to make the bubble background was metallic so it sparkles and the embossing has a great shine. Finally the copper foil leaf was stamped with stazon and a few highlights were dry embossed.

PS...Oh fiddle this final picture is still not showing all the sparkle...hmmm...any other suggestions?? Why not just stop by this weekend and we can make some together!

  2. Absolutely yummy card. I noticed the first leaf falling this week, too. The only tip I have for getting a good photo of the sparkle is to take it outside in the bright sunlight. I'm not busy on Sunday...wouldn't it be wonderful to stamp together.
