Instructions
Cut a 4” x 4” square from the Shattered Cardstock and fold it in half to make the place card.
Working on the Non-Stick Craft Sheet, ink the edges of the place card with Java Bean Ink using the Mini Blending Tool and Foam.
Stamp leaf image with Black Tie Pigment Ink. Place on scrap paper, and pour Sticky Embossing Powder over image. Remove excess powder and return to the jar. Use Heat it Tool to melt powder (do not overheat).
Randomly place a foil sheet with the grey side down on top of the embossed imaged and rub the colored side with your finger to transfer the foil. Do this using different colored sheets until the desired effect is achieved. (Note: You can reheat the image to activate the powder again if you find you have too much of one color in a certain area.)
Die cut the leaf in the Vagabond Machine.
Using the Blending Tool and Foam, ink the leaf with one of the bright colors along with Java Bean. (Note: Using the bright colors on the Kraft Cardstock, mutes the color to make it more fall-like.)
Adhere leaf to place card with Black Adhesive Foam.
Use computer and printer to print names on Mixed Media Cardstock.
Die cut names using the Thinlits Label and the Vagabond Machine.
Edge the labels with the Embossing Ink Pen and place on scrap paper, and pour Sticky-Embossing Powder over image. Remove excess powder and return to the jar. Use Heat it Tool to melt powder (do not overheat).
Randomly place a foil sheet with the grey side down on top of the embossed imaged and rub the colored side with your finger to transfer the foil. Do this using different colored sheets until the desired effect is achieved.
Ink the edges with Java Bean on the Mini Blending Tool and Foam.
Adhere label to the place card with Adhesive Foam and Adhesive Strips.
Place two pieces of Jute string on the bottom of the place card, taping the ends to the back.
