Hello Honey Bee friends! I made a card to share with you that features the new Lovely Layers: Pheasants along with the Fall Forest 3D embossing folder and patterned paper too!
To be honest, I really didn’t know what a pheasant bird looked like! Haha! But I did discover that they are not in my state and that the male has beautiful markings! I die cut my Lovely Layers: Pheasants from white cardstock, except for the male’s dark teal head and red eye markings. I used Detail Blending Brushes and a few reddish brown inks from my stash to color the layers.
I consulted the Layering Guide to assist in the assembly since this was my first time using these dies. I used glue to adhere the layers and set them aside to create the card base and layers.
I embossed white cardstock with the Fall Forest 3D embossing folder leaving about 1″ hanging outside the embossing folder. Then I trimmed the sides and top so that the panel measures 5″ x 3-¾”.
I chose a few patterned papers from the Fall Is In The Air paper pad and trimmed a floral piece to 5″ x 1″ and adhered it to the bottom of the white embossed panel. Then I added a brown and orange strip with glue and trimmed the edges even with the panel. These are adhered to 5-¼” x 4″ brown patterned paper and then to an A2 card base.
I used some foam dots to adhere the Pheasants to the card.
Did you notice that the Wax Stampers in the Falloween release are 3D?!!! I used the new 3D Sunflower Wax Stamper and some brown toned wax from the Autumn wax melts to create the wax seal for my card. There is also a new Fall Is In The Air wax melts that you can check out. I added some thin cord from my stash below the wax seal. Oh, the wax seal is adhered with a Wax Seal Sticker and some glue just to be sure it stays put!
I stamped a sentiment from the new Mini Messages: Fall Sentiments in brown ink. I used a Mini Messages Banners die to cut it out and then trimmed the ends just a bit more with my scissors. I adhered it with a foam strip.
I used a gold pen to color part of the flower’s center on the wax seal and added a few Fall Is In The Air gem stickers for a little something extra!
Today I learned a bit about pheasants and am pleased with how this autumn card turned out! I hope you like it too and were inspired! Thank you so much for stopping by, you are really appreciated!
