Laser Technique for Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

 

 

Happy Thursday my friends.

 

We have a colour challenge to share today and these are certainly fall like. I am really appreciating the cooler weather and we have even had a little rain. So these colours are really starting to show up on my island.

So here we go..  

 

 

 I have spent some time on You Tube the last wee bit.....and I saw a Video by Jennifer McGuire. Shout out to you for the Faux Laser Card. I also shared this with my monthly club last night. Will post those pictures later.  This is my take on the technique, thanks again.

 

The card base is Basic Black , then a piece of Pumpkin Pie  which I cut out the Circle. Then I cut out the leaves using the FABULOUS Seasonal Layers Thinlits. I am in love with these dies. They were attached to the back of the circle ,  just random.

Then I placed dimensionals around the circle and then around the edges of the Pumpkin Pie piece. Jennifer used a foam piece cut out. Great idea but do you think I could find any???!!!  So I tried a couple of things , the foam adhesive strips were a bit too much so went with the dimensionals. Nice to have the two sizes now. 

 

 

These colours are so dramatic, so not much was needed to finish up the card.   The branch and the banner went well together and then onto the sentiment. I do love fall and think it is just that, amazing. 

 

 

Here is a closer picture of the leaves, I did wonder about placing more but thought the black from behind helped with the technique.  Now off to the rest of the hop...have fun.
