Susanbcards: 1 Die 3 Ways! Simon Says Stamp Autumn Leaf Frames

I made 3 cards with the Simon Says Stamp "Autumn Leaf Frames" dieset. The frame die cuts 3 frames, 1frame with leaves in the bottom corner, 1 slightly larger outline frame and one decorative frame.

For my first card, I dieccut the leaf frame and used it as a stencil. I put the A2 sized card panel on the Picket Fence Paper Palette. The Paper Palette hold the cardstock in place. I used the Picket Fence Paper Pouncers to color in the leaves with Distress Inks (Mowed Lawn, Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, Broken China, Crackling Campfire}. I then took Distress Embossing Glazes in similar shades and embossed the leaves. Below is a video tutorial.

For the second card, I used mint tape to temporarily hold the outline frame in place so I could ink blend inside the frame with Distress Oxide Inks (Shabby Shutters, Scattered Straw and Dried Marigold).

I used Recollections Glitter Cardstock from Michaels to diecut the frame, once in bronze glitter cardstock and once from 110 lb black cardstock, gluing the 2 together. I cut another set and turned it upside down to have leaves covering the entire panel.

For the 3rd card, I attached a black diecut leaf frame to a piece of acetate. On the back of the acetate I placed alcohol ink in bright colors. I diecut a rectangle out of the front of an A2 card and attached the acetate inside the card. I covered the back of the acetate with a white piece of cardstock because it didn't look great.
