Autumn Leaves Card

What you will need


Rubber stamp PSX E1046 Maple Leaf
Hi Boss embossing pad
Embossing powders:- copper, gold, silver, verdigris.
Soft paint brush
Heat tool
White card
Black round aperture card blank
Grip pads
Double sided tape or glue

Instructions
Stamp the image several times onto the white card, using the Hi Boss
embossing pad. This is slightly tinted to show where you have
stamped the image.

Place stamped card onto a large sheet of paper, and then sprinkle a
line of copper embossing powder diagonally across the card. Tap the
excess powder onto the paper and return it to the jar. Remove any
specks of powder with a soft paintbrush. Repeat with each of the
other powders, making sure to pour one powder back into it's container
before adding another colour.

When all the leaves are completely covered, heat the powder gently with
the heat gun, until it appears shiny.

Stamp the image twice onto the front of the aperture card just below the
aperture (see picture). Emboss the image as before.

Cut out the leaves and mount them onto the aperture card, arranging
them so that the top of the highest leaves are tucked under the aperture.
Use grip pads to mount some of the lower leaves on top of others for
a 3-D effect
