Primarily for this week's MMTPT321 Reading is Fun challenge for Greg. But since I'm late in getting to it, due to a bereavement in my husband's family, I've also been able to incorporate today's Au Naturale and signs of Fall F4A and MIX challenges.
For my mixed media, I included adding some stamped leaves with Versamark and chalk in the foreground of the owl panel, stamped my sentiment on an old scrap of embossing resist, and added a Fantasy Film leaf left from one of my Dirty Dozen cards this month.
Signs of fall - the leaves, cones and wool.
Au Natural - the wool and wood veneer.
Stamped the owl, coloured him with distress inks and pencil for the foreground. Masked him and used several inks direct to paper to create a woodsy background, over which I stamped some leaves in green.
Stamped the books on some BG paper and cut the aperture, also cutting a frame from the same Bazzill as the base. The sentiment is stamped on an old scrap of emboss resist. Because the IO backgrounders make a square, I often end up with useful scraps when I make an A2 card . I wrapped it round with some wool and stuck it to the card. The little wooden cones were sponged with ink while still in the die.
