This is for the MISTI Monday October 2017 challenge. Details can be found here.
The challenge is to do repeat stamping using MISTI - ombre style. OK, the ombre style got a bit lost here, initially the tree trunks were ombre brown, followed by ombre style green leaves, then ombre orange and red.
In my defense I nailed the repeat stamping and I will definitely be doing this again. This card took less than 15 minutes to make, that's about 5 hours better than anything I've ever made - bonus!!!
The grass and sky where quickly done with the Smack and Squirt technique - smack a distress ink pad onto a sheet of aluminium foil, squirt on a good amount of water, then using a foam blending tool, scrub the inky water onto the card.
A light spritz of water was misted over the card, a few white pen marks were added along with a doodled border. I then scrubbed undiluted walnut stain distress ink around the edges.
Finally I added a gazillion spots of liquid pearls. I am determined to use the last drop of these pesky little bottles before they curl up and die like all the other bottles!!
Thanks for looking. I hope you will join in this fun monthly challenge sponsored by SCS's Platinum Partner, My Sweet Petunia.

This is stunning, Ms. Susie! You captured the fall colors perfectly, and the added liquid pearls gives it a glow along with great texture. This year our colors are not as vibrant, due to excessive rain this summer. Love this card!!!!!! TFS

Gorgeous! I feel like I’m looking at a fall scene out my window instead of paper and ink! Thanks for mentioning this challenge in the Falliday chat link. I’m going to see if I can come up with something. It’s a great technique that seems pretty easy and I’m all about that!

I saw these trees on my walk this afternoon..ha! Both yours and the trees I saw are gorgeous! I think you should buy stock in liquid pearls..maybe they’d give you free samples. Another amazing Susie masterpiece!
