Autumn Leaves



Hi everyone.  Time for a new challenge at Catch the Bug Challenge Blog!  Today it's "Anything Goes" - yay!

It's gotten a bit cooler here recently (although the humidity is still really high).  It's starting to feel more like fall ... my favorite time of year!  I love all the beautiful colors of the turning leaves and have tried to capture them with my card today.  I used the Leaf Blocks digital stamp set from Bugaboo (the set comes with seven different leaf block designs).


Today I used the marker layering technique to color my images on watercolor paper.  It's so fun and easy to do ... just takes a little practise.

Here's a close-up:





Stamps:  Leaf Blocks (Bugaboo), Summer Sentiments (Amy R)
Paper:  Watercolor
Ink:  Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, More Mustard, Crumb Cake (SU!)
Accessories & Tools:  blender pen (SU!), Stamp-a-ma-jig, hemp twine



I hope you'll join us for the fun challenge at Catch the Bug - Anything Goes.  Please drop by and check out the fabulous cards by the rest of the Design Team.

    Fabulous card Loll. Love the effect you get with the marker layering on watercolour card. Definitely feels more autumnal over here as Anne (above) says............BTW Anne and I run our own craft club - small world eh? Hope you're having a fantastic weekend.

    Enjoying the rich Fall colours on your card. I live in Surrey and it is sure beginning to feel like Fall. Just an overall feeling in the air in the evenings!
