Mary is our hostess this week and she has chosen: Tangelo Twist, Cajun Craze, Hello Honey, Old Olive, Real Red (to use at least 3) and for dessert: a fall scene. I used a combination of distress inks to match and the SU! colors.
I was so pleased with my Christmas version of this card (here), that I decided to try a fall version. On my cs, first I sponged a light layer of yellow, then I stamped the leaves around the edges using masking (made from post-it notes), and multi-color stamping. To get the mulit-colored leaves I found that sponging the inks onto the stamp works really well!! Will definitely do this again. Then I added some more sponged yellow, splattered diluted inks of the same colors and diluted white acrylic paint with a paintbrush, and the sentiment. Added glitter to portions of the leaves with the spectrum noir glitter pen, matted, then adhered this panel to the card front - enamel dots for something extra!
