I recently bought a new Sizzix Bigz dies called Tattered Leaves. I noticed that my seasonal tree was looking a bit sparse, so decided some extra mixed media leaves would be just the thing. I cut them out of greyboard which was recycled from a posting envelope. I decorated them with book pages, kraft card, inking around the edges with red or orange pigment ink and a bit of gold gilding polish for a touch of richness. On one, (top right in the photo), I covered kraft card with gilding flakes.
I used a leaf vein embossing folder to give the backs some interest and the inking and gilding wax too. I am really pleased with how they turned out and they have livened up the seasonal tree.
They go well with the felt leaves I made, using my own felt, a few years ago. You can also see the November ATC in the middle of the tree.
