Photo Details

Poster: BarbieP

For today's CAS188 challenge, Denise gave us a lovely image on Pinterest for inspiration.

I decided rather than coloring my leaves, I would make an acrylic smash bg in the fall colors and lightly stamp my silhouette in hopes it looked as if the colors were shining through. I then sprayed the entire image panel with Mr. Huey's color mist to give it an overall shimmer. I am happy with the results. I created two frames (running the top one through a foliage ef) and placed on top of the image. Very simple.

Thank you for taking a closer look. Hope you like it

This is gorgeous! I love the colors and the embossing on your frame. I really like the way you matted your image under the frames. What a wonderful take on this challenge! A definite favorite for me!

Gorgeous bg for your foliage silhouette, Barb. The teal frame really complements the colors. A beautiful card.

That smash technique makes a very attractive bg! I must try it. You framed that lovely image just perfectly.

Gorgeous Barb! LOVE the wonderful warm colors in the background of your silhouetted leaves! I can only image how amazing it looks with the lovely gold shimmer added to it! Your embossed frame is so cool! That green with the blue undertones is so pretty against the warmer tones. That embossing folder is awesome too! Magnificant card with so MANY wonderful elements!!! Love it!
