I just got my stamper's success magazine and had to try out the ruffled paper technique. I use Stampin Up's designer paper for my color inspiration most of the time. I love the idea of using it as place or instead of ribbon.
It really is just free forming it- I use some snail on back of 1/2 inch strip and just keep folding it or "ruffle it" to continue it down the cardstock. It did take longer than a 12" strip, so I needed an extra piece of dsp to finish it off.
I also tried out another technique of
emboss resist using first edition speciality designer series paper and french foliage stamp set. I used some retired copper and new pewter embossing powder and then sponged on more mustard, old olive and bravo burgundy inks. I used splitcoast challenge #351 from this week.
Happy Fall!

Really a beautiful card for fall, Kathy -- now IF we could just get under 100 degrees for a high here (and actually stay there) it may actually feel like fall finally! ;-\
Beautiful. Love the way you used that technique. The leaves on newsprint is really cool.
I love everything about this card - cool techniques.
Thanks for sharing,
Kim
