I'm Obsessed With Leaves
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: jkanack

 I pulled out my autumn stuff yesterday, not that I used it for today's card....I'm so happy to see all my fab sentiments etc. But I have always been obsessed with leaves. I remember walking with my Mom when she had Alzheimer's and she loved to pick up leaves from the ground.
I have been playing with a technique where you dip paper into a tea bath, spray a bunch of colors on it and either put a stencil between two layers or crumple the paper up, letting both dry completely. I used one of the crumpled ones today, adding some different inks on top of the crumples. I'm also submitting this for yesterday's FS: HYCCT1515 Color Block Thanks by adopted2 at Splitcoaststampers and Saturday's IC: https://colossal.shop/collections/bo...ette-pre-order.
I'm really enjoying Lee Mae's gallery; it's smallish but has lots to inspire. I think you can see my changes. As far as Colossal goes, I could create all day long with that site. I'm obsessed (yes I have OCD for art) with the books and loved the idea of the book about artist's palettes. I want that book if it comes back in stock!
Enjoy your week, Lee Mae! Thanks for the challenges!

Love the camo background! It works well with those colors! I also like the washi tape sentiments!

Color blocks are an absolute favorite of mine, and your take is awesome! I spent quite a few minutes just examining the interplay of the leaves and the paper elements. Thanks for choosing one of my cards for inspiration!

That's really fun washi tape - and great colours in your camo background pieces.

The layered textures and earthy tones in your crumpled tea-stained background are mesmerizing—like autumn whispered across the page. I love how the leaf die cuts echo your story so tenderly, adding both movement and memory. The washi sentiment border is such a clever touch, grounding the piece while letting the colors dance. This card feels like a walk through nostalgia and creativity all at once.
