A beautiful way to showcase the colors of fall is through a fall scene.
To create the scene, I used Stampscapes stamps, specifically the Autumn Brook R and L, as well as some cloud stamps. I then added color to the scene using Distress inks and Stampin Up inks, applying them with a q-tip. Additionally, I used colored pencils to add shading and touches of color to the sky and its reflection.
To frame the A2 sized scene, I had to trim it, which made me hesitant as I didn't want to ruin the colored scene. Fortunately, the end result turned out fine.
Finally, I thought the card could use a cool embellishment, so I used my Cricut to cut out a leaf and propped it up with 3D foam.
Have a wonderful day enjoying the beauty of Fall!

You are so right. Nature just screams the beauty of its season! Fall colors are some of my very favorites. What a beautiful card you have created to honor this season!

It is a beautiful fall day here in Massachusetts today. Looks just like your scene only brighter :-)
Great job creating this fabulous scene and I love the addition of the popped up leaf!

We are finally enjoying some splendid fall color here...not a ton of maples or other trees that turn red but in a way, that little bit of brightness makes everything look great. Rainy, windy, those leaves will fall soon. Lovely use of that stamp, I've never purchased any of that type but I have thought about it. Thanks for the nudge.

Beautiful scene - so peaceful and tranquil. Water and reflections always add to a feeling of calm.
You don't have to make A2 sizes always ;-). One of the most liberating things I bought was an envelope punch board which made it so easy to make custom envelopes (I did use a tutorial here before I bought it, but the board just is so easy to use). Now if an image calls for something off standard, I go with it rather than trim it down. But it certainly did work for you, I wouldn't have known it wasn't the original sizing.
