Red leaves - oragne leaves - Creative with Stamps #42 Autumn

Sunday September 1, 2019

 

Hello.. It's September 1st so we have another month long

challenge over at Creative with Stamps #42

Our theme this month is AUTUMN

 

Note: CWS challenges to not have many "guidelines", but please read and follow the few we do have to be eligible to win.

 

Digging through my stamps I saw this Technique Tuesday sentiment and thought perfect. So I grabbed my Stampin up stamps and dies and stamped on watercolor paper. I then used my Mission gold watercolor paints and went for the red/orange/yellow and gold leaves.. I then cut them out. I used the leftover paints and took another piece of watercolor paper and created the background and dried. I then took red and black and did the splatters. Dried that then I took Versa mark and wiped it on the edges and dipped into embossing powder and heat embossed. I stamped the sentiment on some Quick quote scraps and heat embossed in the same powder from Simon Says. I used Spellbinder rectangle die to cut it out. Once I was ready to put the card together, I thought the leaves needed a hint of gold so I took Kuretake gold watercolor paint and went over the leaves and dried. You can barely notice it. I then laid out the sentiment and images and put a few leaves right on the background and a few on foam dots. I added a few twine bows to the stems. I am not ready for autumn.. but I guess more ready for it then winter.. lol.

As you like it - favorite way to add sentiment - I love to emboss and frame the sentiment so it fits with the image.
