Good evening! The last few weeks we have been treated to some cooler weather, with a few hot days mixed in. The leaves are turning and starting to fall. The smell of leaves, fire and harvest are in the air. So, after coming in from a golden evening playing outside with my daughter, I was in the mood to make something fall. I used the sketch below, but turned it on its side and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I have the perfect recipient in mind, too!
The colors I used are Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, and Old Olive. I used the new Buffalo Check background stamp and the Falling for Leaves stamp set and accented it with a simple strip of Braided Linen Trim. I watercolored with my ink refills and an Aquapainter on our watercolor paper. That was so relaxing!!! You have to try it if you haven't. To give it a little dimension I heat embossed the leaf image. That also helped keep the ink in place -though there are a few places where it escaped. And that's okay. I was going for a rustic look anyway! Happy stamping!!!
Pretty card! Great idea using the buffalo check background.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! The Buffalo Check is a great compliment to the fall colors.
