Hello Lovelies! There is a rainbow for every season and I need very little encouragement to make a colorful card! The Falling Leaves 3D Embossing Folder from the Season of Wonder release gave me a perfect excuse to "rainbow"!
This is a Made in Minutes card where the focus is keeping it simple, but not sacrificing any pretty. Today we will emboss, ink-blend, splatter and die-cut.
Before we get to the details let's take a peek at our key supplies:

CARD WALKTHROUGH
EMBOSSING & INK-BLENDING
Emboss a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of 110lb Neenah Solar White Cardstock using the Falling Leaves Embossing Folder
Use Large Blending Brushes to ink-blend the four Distress Ink colors onto the embossed panel in the following order starting at the top left and continuing clockwise:
SPLATTERING & DIE-CUTTING
Spritz the embossed panel with large droplets of water from a Distress Sprayer and let dry
Dip the Splatter Brush into a little puddle of Tarnished Brass Distress Paint that has been mixed with a spritz of water from a Distress Sprayer
Splatter the paint onto the embossed panel repeatedly until you are happy with the result and let dry
Die-cut the Scripty Thanks Sentiment outline from Vellum and the word from Gold Glitter Cardstock. Adhere the die-cut layers with Craft Glue and adhere to the embossed panel with a Tape Runner
Trim the selected sentiment from the Giving Thanks Sentiment Strips, pop up with Foam Tape and adhere to embossed panel
Adhere Gold Glitter Drops to with Craft Glue to the embossed panel
Pop up embossed panel with Foam Tape and adhere to a Card Front
This approach should work well over almost any embossed design, so if you prefer to use another folder or want to make a couple different designs, go for it, you can't go wrong with these colors!
The splatter shows up beautifully against the ink-blending!
The glitter sentiment almost looks like jewelry here and the stark contrast of the white sentiment strips stands out against the intense background.
I couldn't resist adding some gold glitter drops to match the "Thanks" sentiment!
Fall rainbow!!!
Thank you for stopping by and hope that you will be back! Happy Crafting!
