Autumn







I always thought if autumn colours as browns until I walked out of the front door and saw a bright red leaf on the path in front of me.... So red was my first choice of colour for this weeks project.
I stamped a sheena Douglas leaf stamp in red, orange and brown distress inks onto an 8x8 card blank and also some onto Splodgeaway elegance card. The background ones I used a water brush to bleed out the colour and the cut out ones I used my Splodgeaway 8x8 mat as a palette and some water colour paints.
The centrepiece was again using the elegance card, distress inks ( red, brown and a bit of yellow) and my Splodgeaway 12x12 mat to blend. I used the leaf mask and a green ink for the leaves. I drew round the Splodgeaway flower mask...3 different sizes, and formed the 3d flowers. A sentiment, some gold mirri card and some glass beads finished off the card.

Hope u like it x
