Welcome to InKing Royalty’s November Blog Hop! November is a time of gratitude and thanksgiving, and we’ve made projects that say “thanks!” to special people in our lives. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I am thankful for where I grew up. I lived on a small farm in Iowa and spent most of my time outside exploring creeks and playing Hide and Seek in the cornfields. A favorite time for my sister and I happened after harvest was over, and the hunters would come to hunt pheasant. At the end of the day, we were gifted some of the beautiful tail feathers of the birds. Those feathers were many things. Most of the time they became magic wands. Something that simple made us so happy.
My card today showcases the beautiful pheasant in the stamp set Painted Pheasant.
I painted my pheasant using daubers with the ink colors Cajun Craze, Coastal Cabana, and Merry Merlot. The fallen leaves use the same three colors. All of the stamped images were fussy cut and adhered to the front panel. The Merry Merlot card base was embossed with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. The center section is a piece of Distressed Gold 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is stamped in Merry Merlot on Very Vanilla Cardstock and die cut using a die from the Joyful Flurry bundle.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s October Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects center around Harvest & Hope, so prepare yourself for gratitude and love in Fall-themed projects. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
My card today showcases the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set. I used bleach to stamp the pretty leaves onto the cardstock. Here is my card:
Details:
Materials used:
Misty Moonlight Cardstock,
Cork Specialty Paper
Gorgeous Leaves Stamp Set
Early Espresso Ink Pad
Water Painter and bleach
Very Vanilla Cardstock
Tasteful Textured 3D Embossing Folder
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Process:
1. Stamp the leaves onto the cardstock using the Water Painter filled with bleach. I “painted” the bleach onto the stamp until it was very wet but not dripping. Stamp with firm pressure and hold the stamp in place for about 20 seconds. Do this with all the leaf stamps.
2. Splatter some of the bleach onto the paper by tapping on the barrel of the Water Painter.
3. Emboss the stamped and splattered panel with the Tasteful Texture 3D Embossing Folder.
4. Stamp the sentiment on the Very Vanilla piece in Early Espresso Ink. Adhere to the panel using Dimensionals.
5. Add 3 Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots for sparkle.
6. Adhere the finished panel to the cork layer and then add that panel to the cardstock. (In case you were wondering, I adhered them on slanted angles on purpose. It could be because I was up very late making the card!)
I really enjoyed experimenting with different colors of cardstock. Each color faded differently. I hope you give this technique a try!
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Marilyn Jones at Stamp With MJ. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
