Burnished Lustrous Leaves

 I hadn't used the masks that come with the Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Dies, and they are so gorgeous, that I needed to give them a go!  Thankfully, Patty Bennett just did a video suggesting color combinations! So, I tried several of her suggestions. This one is probably my favorite!  I then combined several other layouts to create my own!  I love how it turned out!  We'll be doing this one in my monthly class next week!



Measurements:  

  • Pecan Pie: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
  • Very Vanilla: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 1/4 sheet for burnishing, 3" square (foiled circle)
  • Autumn Opulence DSP (N) (OE): 1 7/8" x 4", scraps (Pecan Pie check)
To Make This Card:

  • Begin my creating the "burnished" leaves, first!
  • Start with the 1/4 sheet of Vanilla cardstock, and mask #1, along with Golden Glow ink and a large Blending Brush. Before you remove the mask, add a little Crisp Canteloupe ink to this mask, as well.
  • Next, remove mask #1 and add mask #2.  Add the next color, which is Timid Tiger.
  • Continue with mask #3 and Cajun Craze ink, and finish with #4 - the stems, which are Pecan Pie.
  • Before cutting out, Patty shared an awesome technique - you can emboss with the foiling dies! Use plates #1 & #2, add the IMPRESSIONS PLATE (mat), the 1/4 sheet with the colored leaves, right side up, the foiling die, and then one plate #3.  Run it through the Cutting, Stamp, and Emboss Machine, and voila - they are embossed!
  • Now, you can die cut with the corresponding die! (Really neat, huh!) You've gotta try this one!
  • Finish the leaves with a little Wink of Stella.
  • Foil the smallest circle from the Framed and Fabulous bundle, in copper foil.  Die cut with coordinating die.  Stamp sentiment from the bundle in Pecan Pie ink.
  • Next, emboss one of the Vanilla layers with the new, Softly Woven Embossing folder.  
  • Adhere to folded Pecan Pie card base.
  • Add the Pecan Pie DSP to the bottom of the card, over the Vanilla piece.
  • Layer the foiled circle where desired, and arrange the leaves around the circle as shown, then add circle with Dimensionals.
  • Finish front with small bow onto the circle (retired ribbon combo), and scattered copper Metallic Gems.
  • Finish the inside with the other Vanilla layer, and leaves die cut from the DSP using the smaller leaves in the Lustrous Leaves Bundle!
