Smooshing Technique with gold leafing!

Hello!
Happy Friday!

A new month and a new card with Thanksgiving!



I started with my Distress Oxides using ink smooshing technique. After drying added another layer with the same step. It is so quick and easy!



I used hidden leaf stencil with whipped cream sparkle paste. When the paste was partially dried, I pressed the designer leaf on it carefully and burnished well with my fingers only


Love the achieved result. They are a nice warm mix of gold, copper with just touches of rose gold, bluish-green flake which made me think of autumn leaves so I decided to go that way!
And in the last added a Thanks dotted rectangle frame with a copper thread and embellished it with some half pearls and few gold leaves.

Happy crafting!

    This is such a beautiful card! I love the techniques you used every step of the way and it reminds me of looking at flowers in the garden after it rains and everything is sparkling with water reflections!
