Dina Kowal shares and adorable Fall shaker card today using Boy in Leaf Pile, Leaf Cluster die, Layered Floral set, and a large circle shaker pouch.
I just felt like watercoloring for fun today, and found this neglected fall image (Impression Obsession's Boy in Leaf Pile). It seemed like a fun image for a shaker card, so I went in that direction. I started by stamping a few extra images at different angles to fill out the pile of leaves so it would cover the bottom of my large circle shaker pouch - I didn't worry about masking, and just let the leaves overlap, since I knew the watercoloring would cover up those less-defined areas.
When I started watercoloring, I wet the entire area and just touched in different colored inks until I filled the space. I watercolored an extra portion of the paper too, so that I could diecut some matching leaves to fill my shaker.
I used the Leaf Cluster die to cut the watercolored leaves, and the leaves from the Layered Floral set to cut some from solid cardstock... I ended up cutting the leaves off the clusters so they'd shake a little better. ..and some closeups of the details. I love the look of those tiny watercolored leaves - I miss fall!
What a beauty we have to share today from Ellen Taylor!
Ellen's card uses Simplicity B11106, Butterfly and Pumpkins H1924 and Fence Border Die - DIE028-J
I chose Grace for today's tutorial. I used a couple of different techniques. The first was using a heat and stick embossing powder to attach some mica flakes and the second is foiling Graces shell. Below is how I created the card itself.

Finishing The Card:
It was a fun and fairly quick card. I am really enjoying seeing all of your cards for our "Bloom Where You Are Planted" Challenge too. For those of you who haven't joined in the fun yet, there's still time. Get your cards posted HERE before tomorrow night at 10:00 p.m.
Thanks for stopping by to look and share! I'll be back with the winner of the challenge on DT Thursday. Hope you will join us for that fun too.

This is not a repeat of my OWH card. I wanted to have both done by then, but it was not meant to be. One of the images, the background and the card fold are the same, but from there it is different:
My second card also used the twisted easel fold. It is so easy to do. The people to whom I have given it say they love the way they can put it on their desks, etc. to enjoy.

That's it. Sometimes I think it's too detailed, but I always try to think of those that are just learning. Hope you enjoyed the 'double take'. See you back here on Thursday for our DT treat and for the winner of our Party Time Challenge too. Have a great week and thanks for stopping by to look and share!
HOLLY CHRISTMAS CARD: SNOWMAN TRIO CHIRSTMAS CARD:
I was so excited to be invited to celebrate World Cardmaking Day with OWH. If you haven't heard of this wonderful group you can find out more HERE. They MAKE cards and send them to deployed troops so they can use them to write home to their loved ones. Thank you, Sandy and your team, for all you do for our troops.
I chose to use Holly because she can be used as a Christmas angel or an everyday angel. To make my card I:
