I'm going in reverse order with showing you the make and takes from yesterday's SUper Friends gathering! This is actually the second one we did, and is a bit more complicated than the first one, which I'll show you tomorrow!
For this one, we used some card kits I'd prepared. These are the original samples I had prepared with the materials and some stamp sets that have since retired:
For our make and takes, I gave everyone a choice between two of the new online exclusive stamp sets to use with these kits -- either the Changing Leaves Bundle (which includes a hybrid embossing folder) or the Frosted Forest Bundle (which includes decorative masks).
The group unanimously chose the Changing Leaves Bundle!
For my card, I initially tried inking up the embossng folder, but wasn't happy with how that turned out so decided to flip over and use the white side of the paper. I used the technique of mixing Pearlized Enamel Effects with some shaded spruce to watercolor my green leaf die cut, then stamped on top of that. The Berry Burst leaves were stamped and then I added ink with blending brushes. I finished the card with some splatters of Shaded Spruce (inspired by Margery!) and some gems.
I hope some of the other friends will share their creations as well -- everyone's card came out so differently, and everyone did an amazing job with this challenge!
