Today I'm sharing an autumnal card with a non-traditional colour scheme of gold, pink and purple. I find I usually reach for the traditional orange, green and red, so it’s fun to play around with different combinations.


I began by die cutting lots of leaves from white card, using some of the Pretty Pink Posh Small Stitched Foliage die set.


I then inked these with the WOW clear embossing ink, before heat embossing with the following powders: Rose GlintzPerfect PlumGold Pearl
I repeated this process to get a thicker double layer of embossing. The stitched details can get lost a little by doing this, but it does gives a more dimensional look to the leaves.


I arranged these across my card base, adhering with liquid glue, then trimming the edges where they overlapped.
I finished by stamping a sentiment from the Pretty Pink Posh Pumpkin Patch Critters stamp set.


Have a lovely day, Gemma

Being a mixed media artist, I love layers especially translucent layers that allow whatever lies beneath to shine through to the top. Pearl powders are translucent which is how they manage to change appearance depending on what they're embossed onto. White card or dark card, each one will have a different finish.

I wondered whether it was possible to take a Pearl powder (I have Green Pearl) and alter the look of some of my other powders? After a bit of experimentation, I discovered happily that you can indeed create new pearl finishes by layering over other colours.


For example, here I've used The Ferry Man Trio, Jealous Guy, Love is the Drug and Angel Eyes. I chose The Ferry Man Trio as I wanted something bright as my under layer and these are pretty bright.
The result is gorgeous. The effect is quite subtle and when viewed from above it just looks like a soft sheen over the original but when it's turned to the light, wow!! the magic happens and you get the beautiful pea…
