Well Hurricane Sandy took care of the few leaves that were left on the trees this week! There is such a contrast now from a few days ago, all I see are bare trees, and I miss all that color, so I am still playing with some leaf stamps. The background strip of dark paper was made with Ranger Alcohol Inks. I had never used them before, and I love the marbled effect that they made on the glossy paper. The leaves were painted in with my Twinking H2O watercolors. I followed this Less is More sketch, and decided to leave a sentiment off.
This would make a great card for a guy, so it's going in CAS-ual Friday's Masculine Project, Inspired By Challenge using this photo,

ReplyDeleteI've seen a number of cards inspired by this Less is More sketch. I really like seeing different people's takes on th same theme. Very nice and I love fall leaves, even though here in Arizona we don't really do that thing.
ReplyDeleteoooohhhh I just love that white wood grain background with thos fall leaves popping out on front! Gorgeous eye candy! The wind always removes our leaves too soon, seems like Fall is too short! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
