I really like when the weather is crisp and the sun is shining. That is perfect fall weather for me! The leaves start to change and there are so many beautiful trees in varying shades of colors. I started with those beautiful leaves as the inspiration for my project:
I stamped the beautiful leaf from The Outpost plate. I inked it up with a variety of colors from the distress inks. I used yellow, orange, red and brown dye ink to create the leaves. I inked up from lightest to darkest colors on the stamp. After the leaves were stamped I hand cut them. (This took time but I like to do this busy work while watching TV) After they were cut I sponged the edges with brown dye ink. To finish them off I added a layer of Distress Crackle Paint. I stamped the house and tree using black ink and added color with distress inks to the tree. I stamped in the background the ledger from the Ephemera Backgrounds. I finished off the scene with several layers of clear embossing powder.
The sentiment is from the Flower Market.
When I finished my first project I had some of the beautiful leaves left and decided to create a tag.

what a great card and tag Suzz. They are beautifully coloured leaves. And your fussy cutting is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful project with gorgeous Fall colors!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Sue and I love those 'frosty' leaves and the cracked embossed focal image. Like many of us I love the colours of Autumn! Your favourite fall weather is also mine .......... and NOT what we have here this morning ... lashings of rain and high winds and altogether dark and gloomy ;0(. Still, your gorgeous card and tag have cheered me up :0)!

lovely autumnal feel to both pieces Sue. I really like your ribbon at the top of the tag.
ReplyDeleteYour handcut leaves are stunning, Suzz - and the fuzz of leafy colour on the tree silhouette is so beautiful! Gorgeous tag too, full of drama with the b&w behind the autumn colours... love it!
