Fall Fox Folio Mini Tutorial with Reneabouquets and Prima Autumn Sunset

Hello, Friends! Today I have a mixed media Fall Fox Folio Mini Tutorial to share with you. If you checked out the blog on Tuesday, then you learned how to create the quick and easy folio base that we are finishing up today. You can find that tutorial HERE.

Since the folio was still on my desk when I came in to work, and since I had just received a lovely new box of Reneabouquets Beautiful Board, I decided to finish the folio base for our Throwback Thursday post.

Mixed Media Touches

Mixed media touches make this little 5×7 folio extra special. These easy steps make all the difference.

First, dry brush the edges of Reneabouquets Pumpkin Beautiful Board with ivory chalk paint.
Next, spatter the pumpkin with the leftover paint.
Then tap Reneabouquets Oak Leaves and Acorns Fancy Fall Corners with embossing ink
Now sprinkle (think salt) WOW! Super Fine Copper Embossing Powder over the Fall Corners. Tip the excess powder off onto a piece of paper and put back in the jar.
Next, sprinkle a little Seth Apter Taos Sunset Baked Textures over the exposed frame. Tip the excess off as before.
Finish by covering the rest of the beautiful board with Stampendous Mixed Metals Embossing enamel. Tip off the excess.
Now heat emboss and watch the magic happen!
