Today's card was inspired by two challenges. As You See It Challenge #308: Playing with Polygons gave a great sketch to work with. Retro Rubber #216 had a fun Tic Tac Toe board filled with fun elements to pull from. I went with the right column of masculine, leaves and die-cuts. I pulled out some patterned paper and a die set from last year. The stamp set I used, Truly Grateful, was from 2013.
Layer a 2" by 4 1/2" piece of Calypso Coral Rustic Harvest DSP (ret) onto a 2 1/16" by 4 5/16" piece of Early Espresso cardstock
Layer a 2 3/4" square Mossy Meadow Rustic Harvest DSP (ret) onto a 2 5/8" piece of Early Espresso cardstock
Color wash water color paper with orange, yellow and red inks. Allow to dry and splatter with Calypso Coral and brown inks. Cut out leaves with Rustic Pumpkin dies (ret) 2022. I added veins with a Pecan Pie water color pencil.
Truly Grateful (ret) sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso ink onto a 9/16" strip of white cardstock. Flag one end.

Happy Stamping!
Lovely! I really like your choice of colours and the way the DSP looks like currents of wind to whirl the leaves around. I'm also a big fan of the type font for the sentiment.... chock full of delicious details! Thanks for joining us again at As You See It.

ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Suzy! The colours are perfect for autumn and the detail on the leaves give them a really realistic look and feel. Great choice of paper behind too - it reminds me of swirls of wind, so appropriate for the season! Thanks for playing along with our sketch challenge over at As You See It this week!
