Falling for all the autumn colors!
I created this mixed media tag using @lindysgang Autumn Leaves Shimmer Magicals to make my own colorful paper, then die cut these beautiful leaves with the @aallandcreate Leafinitely Detailed die.
A little layering, some golden sparkle, and a sentiment from the Lavinia Uplifting Collection brought everything together! 🍁💛
I love how every leaf turns out a little different!
Are you crafting for fall yet?

Who knew crumpled paper could create such amazing texture?!
I had a little @gelpress fun using crumpled glassine paper to create this colorful background, then added the Tracy Evans Tweet stencil, playful paint marks, and a little AALL & Create washi tape to finish my card.

I love discovering unexpected ways to use everyday supplies in my mixed media projects! ✨
Have you ever tried glassine paper on your gel plate? Let me know your favorite texture-making trick!

Playing with some @ab.s.t.u.d.i.o goodies for mixed media card. Today I’m using the Mixed Media Stripes stencil with some gold paint on a gel press background and completing it with a gorgeous rice paper flower.

Fall colors + a little gold = one of my favorite combinations!

For this card, I pulled a leftover @lindysgang watercolor background and a fall-colored @gelpress print from my stash and paired them with the beautiful @paperartsy Alison Bomber 53 leaves. A little @wowembossing gold heat embossing brought everything together and added the perfect autumn sparkle. ✨🍁

I love when forgotten backgrounds finally find their perfect project!

One stamp set, two projects!

I pulled out a @gelpress print from my stash and paired it with the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs Create a Garden stamps to make this journal page and then turned a leftover scrap into a bookmark!

A little @wowembossing in Pea Coat and Vintage Golden Lace gave the same stamps two completely different looks.

Have you ever tried adding gold foil to your gel plate?

For this journal page, I scattered pieces of gold foil onto my @gelpress plate before pulling the print, creating the prettiest random flashes of gold! I paired it with a white-embossed @paperartsy Tracy Scott bloom watercolored with @lindysgang for lots of color, texture, and sparkle. 🌸🎨

I saw another maker use gold foil sheets so I had to pull out my @gelpress and @heidiswapp gold foil and give it a try. I love the gold shine it adds to my prints and that I get several background from it.

A little Lavinia magic for a very special birthday!

My mom loves raccoons, so the @lavinia_stamps Tumble was the perfect star for her birthday card. I paired him with the Mini Lamp, Seed stamps, Circle Masks, and lots of Lavinia foliage to create his own enchanted nighttime scene.

I especially love how the Lavinia inks helped me build that warm lantern glow against the deep blue sky. A little watercolor and gold sparkle finished off the magic. ✨🌙
