Fall has arrived and with it a whole new season of designs. Join us as we enjoy the ever-changing leaf colors with Autumn Splendor and the approach of some frightful fun with Spooky Screams.
After those fantastic Spooky Screams from Elizabeth, I thought I'd better pop in with some Autumn Splendor today!
As you can see, I just can't stop watercoloring! To create this card, I first stamped Penny Black's large background, 40-357 Autumn Dance, onto Canson 140 watercolor paper using StazOn Spiced Chai ink. I painted the leaves using Dr. PH Martin's Hydrus watercolors. I colored the background with a Vintage Photo Distress Marker and then added water to blend. Next I die cut this painted background using Sizzix Susan's Garden Grid Works die (1 7/8 inch squares- product #658868). This die is designed to coordinate with Inchie Arts Art Squares. Once die cut, these squares fit onto 2" Art Squares, leaving the perfect tiny border around the outer edge. I LOVE the dimension this gave to the card...
