I am so pleased, I made Glamette. What a fabulous honour for one of my little mini canvases, especially when you consider all the wonderful talented cardmakers that join this challenge. Thank so much to the ladies over at The Friday Mashup.
What a fabulous challenge today, Autumn is in the Air.
Create a project with an "Autumn" theme.
Or Create a project using shades of "Yellow & Orange".
Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Autumn project using shades of Yellow & Orange".
I love Autumn, love love love it, tis is my favorite season. So I had fun making this card, this DP is another sheet of paper I have had forever. I flip by it often and always say 'I really should use that', I think I found it in a dollar store.
I coloured the leaves with Orange, Yellow, Greens, Gold and Brown Spica Glitter markers, I did not manage to get the picture to show the little bits of shimmer. I coloured the tree trunk with water color pencils and inked all the edges.
Supplies: Cream and brown cardstock, Designer Paper-Frances Meyer Inc, Whipper Snipper Designs-Fall Tree, Inkdinkado-Fall Sentiment, misc ribbon.
Cheers,
Nina

P.S. We were commenting at the same time :) You live in Victoria? My family went there a few yrs ago when the aircraft carrier my husband was on stopped there. What a beautiful area!
What gorgeous paper!!!!! I also absolutely love how your leaves are trickling down from the tree and how you've highlighted it with your sponged on ink!
ReplyDeleteHi Sis -
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mashup! I love that you spent a lot of artistic time and effort on your masterpiece, it shows! You make me long for all the leaves to change already. I was noticing the trees are still full-on green as we drove today so it will be a while.
Love, Sis
