Instructions:
- Cut frame from Silhouette cut file 3d Bracket Shaped Frame (I did not resize). Top of frame I cut from Rusty Drawer, backside of frame Kraft Paper.
- Assemble Frame per directions on Lori Whitlock’s youtube site (Adhere photo during this step).
- Next, I placed 4 – 6” x 6” pieces of paper on a Silhouette cutting mat (Kraft Paper, Country Plaid and two sections of the Maple Leaf.) In the Silhouette Studio program arrange 3 Fall Leaves die cut file in various sizes. Cut these out.
- Kraft Paper Leaves:
- To add character to the kraft leaves, I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks. Using a non-stick craft mat, I rubbed and gently pressed Tim Holtz Distress Ink in the Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick, Peeled Paint and Walnut Stain. I then sprayed with water and using the end of a paint brush I swirled the ink together slightly.
- I then swiped the Kraft leaves through the ink.
- To make them drive faster, I hit them with my heat gun.
- Crinkle or use an embossing folder to add texture.
- Ink the edges with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain.
- Layer leaves onto frame and mix in the WRMK Embossed Stickers.
- Adhere the “Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice” phrase with dimensional adhesive.
