Pretty Garland of Fall Leaves
Today's project is a simple, but pretty, Fall Garland. The first sample shows leaves I cut from heavy watercolor paper. Much like the card project shown previously, I used my
re-inkers to apply the color to the leaves.
In order for the ink to flow in a very organic manner, it's important to really saturate the watercolor paper with clear water.
When the ink is applied to the saturated paper, it wicks up into the body of the leaf.
Just continue adding ink until you are happy with the color.
Set the leaf aside to dry. You may need to add additional color to the back of the leaf to get full color on both sides.
Once all the leaves are dry, punch holes for the metallic bakers twine.
Here's a super quick version. (No dry time!!!)
I simply cut a variety of sizes and leaf shapes (Artiste and Artbooking cartridges) from the Path Finding Paper Pack, as well as a few from the Paper Fundamentals - Enchantment set. String your leaves on some baker's twine and you're done.
