Reverse Confetti September Release Hop

Morning everyone and welcome to my stop on today’s Reverse Confetti release hop! I have two very different cards to share with you today featuring some of the new release, one for autumn and one for winter! Stay tuned for the next stop on the hop at the end of the post.

My first card features the Autumn Apple Cider stamp and Confetti Cuts die set. I stamped the cup, and apple with a few leaves in Walnut Stain Distress Ink onto coldpress watercolor cardstock. I then watercolored the image with my Distress Inks, by smushing them onto a pallette and picking up the color with my waterbrush.

The colors I used were Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade, Forest Moss, Mustard Seed, Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo. It’s hard to see in the photo, but I also mixed in little antique gold metallic spray for the cup to give it that coppery shine, and a gold gel pen on the seeds.

For my background, I used the Patterned Panels stamp set, and stamped each twice along a panel of A2 white cardstock, using two colors of ink (to coordinate with those I used in the painting). I added a few splatters of Forest Moss as well. Before mounting the images, I lined up the sentiment and heat embossed it in gold embossing powder. I added the die cut images with foam tape and scattered a few matte gold sequins. For a fun touch, I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze on the ‘cider’ to make it look wet 🙂

My next card features two of the dies from the release – the Tree and the Layered Peace Confetti Cuts dies.

I die cut each of the layers from scraps in my scrap drawer, then adhered them with foam tape to a panel I die cut with Along The Dotted Lines Cover Panel (from an earlier release).

I die cut the Layered Peace from matte mirror gold cardstock and vellum and layered them together, then mounted across the tree with more foam tape. I also splattered a little gold metallic spray and finished with iridescent Nuvo Glitter Drops to look like modern christmas ornaments!
