Autumn Pleasures

Photo Details

Poster: naturecoastcrafter

I especially enjoyed digging out one of my favorite colors of inks for this inspiration challenge--sage shadow. On first attempts, I tried to sprinkle the ink with water but the paper was not porous enough to leave water marks to simulate the droplets of water in the photo, so I opted for microdots. I used the rock and roll technique on some of the leaves

Ooooh, I saw the sage in that leaf - glad that you picked up on it! Wonderful design and great idea for the microdot droplets.

A beautiful job overlapping your stamped images. I have a hard time making that work for me.

Sage Shadow was the first color I saw in the inspiration picture. Glad you saw it to. Your card is beautiful.

Lovely! Almost like color block, only with leaves. Perfect sentiment, too.
