TodayÂ’s Technique Challenge seemed easy enough, then I almost forgot the main objectiveÂ…taping off an area for the greeting!
I started by adding a couple of watercolor washes from each side of a piece of w/c paper. Then I realized I had forgot to tape an area off. So I quickly added a piece of torn painters tape & added a bit more color. Then I stamped the solid leaves using a combination of the Distress inks, misting the stamp a bit & stamping. I added a few outline leaves to help fill in. After I removed the tape, I wet the masked area with a water brush & blotted with a paper towel to remove a little of the color. Dried it with a heat gun then stamped my greeting.
Because it looked a little too simple to me, I die cut the top, added a die cut white layer & put it back on the frame left from die cutting the top piece. For a little sparkle, I added some orange stickles here & there.
Thanks so much for looking! Close ups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Great card and the colors just pop saying fall. At least you remembered to put tape down which I did but forgot and took off too soon and it got colored over.
