Hi, guys! Hope all is well. Today I am sharing a card I was asked to make for my friend to send to her husband's grandma. They call her Babci, which means grandma in Polish. I understand she is a very special woman who lives far away and loves nature. I thought I would make leaves using my
Tim Holtz Alteration dies and Distress Inks. I embossed the sentiment to add some shine. I colored the leaves by using an ink pad I made last Christmas.
Tim Holtz had showed the technique on one of his 12 Tags of Christmas. My ink pad was rather dry, so I used ink refresher spray on it, and just applied the pad to paper and got this great patchy look. I then cut the leaves out.
Supplies:
Stamps: Inkadinkado
Paper: Gina K Designs (Brown)
Ink: Distress Inks, Adirondack Espresso
Misc.: Scalloped Rectangle Punch, Computer Generated Name, Tattered Leaves Alteration Die
What a fun card to make and hopefully it will make Babci happy.
I hope you know that I am very thankful for each one of you who visits. I love this community and the sharing that takes place. What blessings you all are to me! Enjoy your day, my friends!

This is beautiful, Winnie, and I'm sure your friend's Grandma will love it...who wouldn't? It's fantastic. Love the various colors in the leaves...just like around my house this time of year. Well done!

I'm sure she'll love it. I totally enjoyed those leaves. So pretty. Thanks for linking, Winnie!
Visiting from the link party. Love the card, you're very talented.
My husband is Polish in origin, and he actually knows quite a few words---he was so tickled when I showed him this card. He wishes I'd make one for his mother, from the kids, now. I told him I wasn't nearly as talented as Winnie is!
I love the effect you've captured on the leaves...I wish I could do that sort of thing.
What a wonderful card :)
