Autumn Friendship

This card was inspired by a fabulous sheet of Bo Bunny paper from the Autumn Song collection.

I used Spellbinders Gold majesty Circles to make the frame for the card front. I used another die from the same set to cut out the centre of the wreath design that was on the paper in order to pop it up. I used that same circle die and the inner embossing die to cut a piece of vellum. I applied Antique Linen ink to the vellum to tone down the whiteness of it. I then heat embossed the sentiment from the JustRite Shabby Chic Autumn Leaves stamp set.
I inked up a corner stamp from the JustRite Doilies and Lace set with Perfect Medium and then applied gold Perfect Pearls to the corners.
I applied different colours of Distress inks to a white card scrap, stamped on it with leaves from the JustRite Autumn Words set and clear embossed them. I rubbed over them with Walnut Stain for two reasons, one being that I wanted to cut them out and needed to define them on the card so I could see them. The second reason was that the dark ink rubbed into the embossed leaves brings out the crackle effect the stamps have. I fussy cut them and applied Krylon gold pen to the edges.
Here's the fun part !

I covered the leaves with Versamark Dazzle in Frost and heat embossed them multiple times with UTEE. The Versamark Dazzle adds the most fabulous but subtle sparkle. I spent a ridiculous amount of time on these leaves, but they are so gorgeous in person that it was totally worth it.
