I am obsessed with die cut leaves and putting together arrangements with the leaves.
I die cut a series of leaves in different papers and used them to create a fall canvas. I cut the leaves from text book pages,veneer, paper and white cardstock.
I used a stencil to add a layer of embossing paste on the leaves. I then used Ranger Distress sprays to add my autumn colors. I sprayed burlap with brown and shredded it to add some tendrils.
My canvas is a mix of mists and embossing paste over a burlap canvas. I added a coat of gesso to the canvas before applying paste and sprays. I then added a piece of chicken wire ribbon.

I LOVE your Autum card! I have a life oak in my backyard that is starting to shed acorns, so I mayl be collecting them to use in my next project. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteFabulous. Great project.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall canvas! I have a stash of acorns that I collected last year. Just not in a fall mood with our triple digit temps. Soon, I hope.
ReplyDeletethis is absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeletevery cool, love the autumn display!
ReplyDeleteThis really is very very beautiful. I'm going to try to figure out how to scale it down and flatten it a little to make a card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Sue - love your leaves in so many textures and mediums!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you gathered the leaves in this piece, Suzz!! Just beautiful!

Love what you've done here and makes me feel like going and doing my own playing around and doing my own version. Thanks so much for sharing and giving me some inspiration!!!
ReplyDeleteSpot on color combos!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. I love Autumn, too. I made a yummy apple cake today from apples that my son and his wife and my two smallest grandsons picked on a visit to an apple orchard on Friday. They had such fun and the apples are so good!
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty Suzanne! The blue inky background looks outstanding with the cluster of fall foliage! Thanks for the never ending inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love this! The colors are beautiful. I also love the texture. The acorn tops are darling.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning Suzz! I saw it up on the Simon says blog and it made me gasp! Fabulous colours!
ReplyDeleteHi, I just stopped over from the Simon Says e-mail I received today which shows your fabulous work. I wanted to look at your blog to find out more details, so TFS. Beautiful project. You obviously are talented at designing and knowing what goes together. Your canvas is truly striking.
ReplyDeleteOhh wow, Suzz! This canvas is so cool! Love the blue background and the acorn caps! Hugs, Sandra
ReplyDeleteMy goodness. This is lovely! I love the way you've left some of the canvas still exposed. It's so great juxtaposed with that vintagey blue. Seriously to die for.
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous canvas! Love all the beautiful elements on this piece. :)
ReplyDeleteThis, in a word, is awesome! I am so in love with the color palette you chose. It's both Fall-ish and soothingly cool and calm at the same time. You used so many clever materials and I just kept smiling at the computer screen when I saw this one!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fall project! I love every detail especially your background and your stencil! BArbarayaya
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with your stunning canvas the minute I saw it ~ it's absolutely beautiful, Suzz! :)
ReplyDeleteI seriously cannot tell you how much I love this canvas Suzz. The fibers add such texture and I absolutely love how you layered your leaves with the acorn caps in the center. Wow!! What a beautiful piece to decorate your home. -- Mary Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteThis canvas is so pretty Sue! Love the background with the blue and all those wonderful leaves layered together.
