Autumn Craft: “Play In the Leaves” Art

Fall· Paper Crafts· Seasonal

It seems only fitting to share this “Play In The Leaves” autumn craft art during the first week of fall! The technique to make the background leaves is relatively easy with the aid of Spectrum Noir markers and some spritzed alcohol. Plus there’s always the element of surprise every time you pull back the paper to reveal your new creation. Let’s get started!

autumn-craft-art-consumer-crafts-unleashed-1Supplies needed to make your own autumn craft art:ClickLinks1

  • Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers
  • Ultra Fine Mist Spray Bottles
  • Rubbing Alcohol
  • Alcohol Ink Cardstock
  • Acrylic Stamp Pad
  • Fall Leaves Die Cut
  • Unfinished Wood Painting Panel
  • Non-Stick Craft Sheet
  • “Play In The Leaves” Free Cutting File
  • Distress Ink Pad
  • Tape Runner
  • Adhesive Foam Dots
  • Cutting Machine

Autumn-craft-art-consumer-crafts-unleashed-11Step 1. Before we begin, I wanted to talk about supplies a bit. I used an acrylic stamp pad at the beginning of this tutorial but eventually just applied the ink and alcohol to the non-stick craft sheet. Choose whatever you feel more comfortable with! Also, feel free to change out the high gloss sheets for matte ones if you want a more muted look to your leaves.

Autumn-craft-art-consumer-crafts-unleashed-22Step 2. Working with a few colors at a time, apply alcohol ink to your surface by repeatedly dabbing the markers in place.

Autumn-craft-art-consumer-crafts-unleashed-6Step 6. Once you have enough patterned paper, use the die cuts to create fall leaf shapes.

Autumn-craft-art-consumer-crafts-unleashed-7Step 7. Use the Distress Ink pad lightly over each leaf shape to bring out the embossed detail.

Autumn-craft-art-consumer-crafts-unleashed-9Step 9. Use the free “Play In The Leaves” SVG file with a cutting machine to create the wording.

Autumn-craft-art-consumer-crafts-unleashed-10Step 10. Apply a generous amount of foam tape to the back and stick in place over the leaves.

Autumn-craft-art-consumer-crafts-unleashed-11Autumn-craft-art-consumer-crafts-unleashed-12I seriously love how these leaves turned out for this autumn craft!

autumn-craft-art-consumer-crafts-unleashed-15It’s interesting that you’re never 100% certain just how the ink will react to the alcohol but that’s part of the fun. I hope you enjoyed this autumn craft tutorial and consider making a “Play In The Leaves” autumn craft project of your own!
