Texture Chic for Monday Montage

I am taking a break from sharing Christmas creations for today's Monday Montage Blog Hop. I feel like I've been making cards, tags, and packages for the holiday since the end of August. So, I felt like sharing a pretty card I stamped using the Texture Chic Bundle.

I selected my ink and cardstock colors based on the piece of DSP from the Seasons of Chic pack. My card base is Coastal Cabana and then I added a layer of Basic White. The Basic White layer has been embossed with the Timeworn Type EF. I did ink up the folder very lightly with Pale Papaya before I ran the paper through my Stampin' Cut Emboss Machine.

I stamped the leaves with a mix of Pale Papaya, Mango Melody, and Blushing Bride. The die cut leaves started as Pale Papaya and then I used a Water Painter to add Mango Melody and Blushing Bride. I like this technique of amplifying the cardstock color with more ink colors. It lends to a beautiful custom look. For the gold leaves I used the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. That paper is gorgeous!
