Autumn Wishes
I had a card with leaves in mind when I first saw the Sept W&W Color Combo. Couldn't get it to work, but I was able to make a winter note card. Really loved the neutral monochromatic background, so I used the same 3 Distress Inks, but sponged them on a card front instead of smooshing.
Then I stamped a variety of images from In Bloom: Renee's Leaves using the same inks. DI candied apple was used for the splatters & for the die cut word shadow. The die cut & stamped words are from The Big, the Bold & Seasons. The top die cut was sponged with the same inks as the background. Fun to make matching twine by sponging with candied apple. I seldom add buttons anymore, so glad to pull out one I've had for years. It was a bit too shiny & gray, but inking with a COPIC solved that. I'm also entering Word Art Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
