Autumn Leaves

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


I really love using Eileen Godwin's sponging technique and
since a sweet friend recently sent me a Stencil Buddy, I wanted to try doing
this with the rounded edge instead of the straight edge.

After getting the geometric sponging done, I laid the Tumbling Leaves Stencil
(also a gift from a sweet friend) over top and lightly sponging
through with the same colors.

I cut the piece with a stitched rectangle die and popped some watercolor
leaves that were all ready and waiting to find their way on a card.
(The leaves have been colored with re-inkers and lots of water.)

Challenges:
CAS Mix Up - Autumn Colors Watercolour
Just Us Girls - Color Week (Yellow, Red, Orange)
Seize the Birthday - Birthday card with Faux Stitching

 


Card Recipe
Stamps: Wreath for All Seasons (PTI) 
Ink:   Chocolate Chip (SU), Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint, Rusty Hinge (DI)
Paper:   Neenah, Watercolor (Arches), Naturals Ivory (ret. SU)
Other:  Re-inkers (Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango, Real Red, Old Olive), Stencil Buddy, Tumbling Leaves Stencil (SSS), Stitched Rectangle Die (SSS), Stitched Leaves (LF)

    Love watching Eileen stencil and stamp, you've done it really well. I'm still practicing. The stenciled curve is very effective, makes your pretty watercolored leaves pop off the page.

    Such beautiful bright leaves which look great over the stencilled and sponged background Bonnie and shown off perfectly by the creamy beige layer behind. x

    I'm loving the geometric sponged background with the tumbling leaves sponged over top. What a great combination!! The colours are so soft and beautiful and really show off the bold colours of your watercoloured leaves. Gorgeous card, my friend! xx

    Love the faint stenciled leaves with the bolder die cuts on top. Lovely card. So I have to ask what is a stencil buddy?

    I don't know what a stenciling buddy is, but I know this is a gorgeous fall card! I love that background sponging and stenciling, it's like you can feel the wind blowing those leaves around. And speaking of leaves, these are beautiful! Hugs, Brenda

    This is gorgeous. Love the rounded edge sponged background layered with the Tumbling Leaves stencil. The bright vibrant die-cut leaves are a great contrast.

    Gorgeous! And thanks for the link to her video. I too love her techniques. No purchase required! Gotta love that. You took it toa new subtle level behind your beautifully colored leaves. Fabulous fall colors but due to the fact we were cheated out of summer, I’m not quite ready for fall and winter yet.

    Like how these intense fall coloured leaves feel like they are flowing with the breeze, flying around that background of softness. I really like this one a lot! xx

    I do miss living in the mountains at this time - all the beautiful colors and the crisp morning air.
    I have no idea what a Stencil Buddy is!
