It sure has felt like fall the last few days. It's been downright chilly and the trees are showing some wonderful colors.
This card is for a Color Combo Challenge by Scrapmaster's Paradise! The colors for this challenge are Crushed Curry, Really Rust and Always Artichoke. What great fall colors!
All images are DRS Designs. The tree was stamped on to vanilla c/s w/ the chocolate ink and I painted some bleach into the moon area. It was cut w/ a Spellbinders oval Nestie and a technique I came up with called Out of the Box Nestie Technique. A little color was added w/ markers and after I edged it w/ the markers, I used a water brush around the edge to blur it. It's attached to rust and artichoke ovals.
The curry bg was stamped w/ the leaf background image and a combination of palm leaf and sienna inks. The edge was punched and it was attached to an artichoke layer w/ one rounded edge, then a rust layer.
The greeting was stamped w/ the chocolate ink, then I used an ochre marker to trace the letters. Two leaves were stamped using the Kpad and cut out. I made two faux brads by using a 1/4 inch hole punch on part of another stamped leaf and attaching them to pieces of punched cardboard.
