Hello...
I hope your week is going well... We've got unusually warm and sunny weather today and it's very welcome...
My favourite challenge blog is celebrating their 2nd Birthday today
May they continue to challenge us for a long time to come
This month's challenge is a colour challenge
The glorious colours of Autumn... Here's what I came up with
I started by stamping the image on white cardstock with black Versafine and then clear embossed it. Then I loosely painted the 3 colours over and around the image using Gansai Tambi watercolour paint
Once dry, I die cut the leaf sprig both from the painted piece and a few times from scrap CS and glued them together before smooshing over with Versamark and clear embossing powder. It's quite hard to see the contrast of the glossy leaf against the BG.
I popped the leaf stem back into the negative space using foam dots after stamping and embossing the
sentiment (from a Uniko set) and that's it.
I hope you enjoy your day, thanks so much for your visit
Till soon

oh oh oh oh, this is stunning Ros, I just love everything about, wonderful card
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing Ros!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOooo I love this! Your colors are so vibrant. Not muddy at all like mine tend to be. Die-cutting the leaf and popping it up was a fantastic idea. It looks sooo cool.!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is gorgeous, Ros! Your loose watercoloring is so artsy and the camouflage effect of the glossy die-cut leaf sprig adds so much interest! The flow from the bottom-left corner to the upper right-corner is a fantastic design element! I love it!

Your background is amazing, Roz! I love how you've die cut the leaves from it and stacked them for added dimension! A beautiful fall card! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Watercolour!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card! I love how you did your background watercoloring, so pretty and fall looking for sure. I also love the scene you stamped and then I love the artist look of the leaves die cut out of the scene. Very cool! Thanks for playing in the Oct. challenge over at CAS Watercolour! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteThis is just stunning, Ros! Perfect stamp to utilize with your gorgeous watercoloring!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, it's been such a long time since I visited... What a lovely card - this is the time for fall colors and I'm so glad the weather is finally somewhat what it should be like at this time of year!
