It's cool & damp around here, so a card sending warm greetings seems appropriate. The beautiful Fall mood board for the Ellen Hutson Pin-Sights challenge provided my inspiration. I focused on the on the colors in the apple picture & smooshed a panel of watercolor paper with Distress Inks fired brick & spiced marmalade. Since I learned to do 1 color at a time & dry between each layer, I love how this technique turns out. This time I also tried using less water for some layers which gives even more texture. I didn't want to add any other colors, so die cut EH Bold Blossoms leaves & blossoms from the panel. 
Cold and crisp here, although the sun is shining, the sky is cloudless and blue! Quite beautiful...but definitely long-johns weather! Your scribbly roses are so pretty; they're warming me up wonderfully! So thrilled you shared this gem in the Fusion gallery!
