Autumn Tree Gatefold Card Tutorial

Hi everyone! I have a tutorial on the Sizzix blog, which I hadn't posted here yet. It's another autumn project. We actually had some snow today, so it seems as if autumn is now over here. I have really enjoyed it.

Layers of ink - Autumn Tree Gatefold Card Sizzix Tutorial by Anna-Karin
I made a tree gatefold card, using new dies by Lori Whitlock. The main die is the Tree Gatefold Card set, but I also used some dies from the Scalloped Lace Gatefold Card and the Lace Gatefold Card set. One of my favourite things with Lori's die sets is that they always contain a lot of useful shapes and designs.


The background was painted with Prima's watercolors and I also added various surfaces to create more texture. I also used Ranger's Distress Micro Glaze again for a resist effect. It's a favourite technique of mine, and you will also find it in my first online class, Versatile Watercolor Stamping which is now available at Skillshare (in case you missed that blog post, you can read more about it here).

You can find all the steps over at the Sizzix blog.

Thank you for stopping by here today!

Happy stamping!
