It’s beginning to cool down here, and our flowers (except the gorgeous dahlias) are beginning to fade. Another sign of autumn’s arrival is the number of card challenges focusing on nature, leaves, and autumn colors. Here’s my first (but probably not my last) autumn focused card.
The beautiful leaf is from The Stamp Market’s “Large Leaf” stamp set. I positioned it in my Misti, and then applied the color directly to the stamp with some Distress Ink cubes, and lightly misted the stamp with water, and stamped it on Altenew’s watercolor paper which has become one of my favorites.
I love the way the inks blend together but the veins in the leaf remain distinct.
I die cut the stamped panel with The Greetery’s “Crimped Frame” and layered it on card base of Asparagus cardstock. The sentiment came from a Papertrey Ink Make-It-Market kit, “Color Pops: Autumn” which I haven’t used in a very long time.
I’m entering this in three challenges: Addicted to CAS: Nature, CAS Mix-up: Watercolor & Autumn Colors, and Happy Little Stampers Watercolor: Anything Goes.
What a beautiful leaf glowing with fall colors! I love how you placed the sentiment and used the Asparagus card base. CAS and lovely! Thank you so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
Lovely card – very fresh colours. I just learnt about the baby wipe method of blending ink colours for stamping, quite a cool idea.
Your CAS design has an abundance of good crafting to enjoy! Loving your colors on the leaf.
So pretty. Love the color combinations. I am enjoying my dahlias too.
Very pretty leaf. Awesome colors and watercoloring. do glad you shared over at Happy Little Stamper
