Hello everyone!  Happy fall!  The leaves are slowly starting to change in

my part of the world.  How about yours?  Are you welcoming cooler weather?

Today I am bringing you a beautiful and versatile design from:

Autumn Border

I love this digistamp set.  It's so pretty and fall-like.  Let me show you

how I made my slimline card!

I composed my design in my computer.  I actually placed the design twice - 

side by side to make the design.  And then dropped in the sentiment.  I printed

it out onto Altenew 140lb Watercolor Paper.

I decided to use Prima Marketing Watercolor Confections in Terrain.  This

palette really has a fall feel to it and I love the colors.

I painted the background of the lower half in Maple.  My initial plan

was to paint the upper half as well, but when I was finished with the

lower half I decided to wait and see if that was what I really wanted

to do.

I painted the berries on the top and bottom with Blue Shadow.

Since the design is a mirror image, I wanted to visually break that

up and achieved that by alternating my colors.  I used the Sassafras,

Sourwood, Fern, Vine Leaf and Purple Smoke Tree for colors.

I was please at how this came out.  I wasn't too fussy about the

painting and I didn't shade everything - only some of the elements.

For the spruce branches I used my dot card from Iuile Watercolors 

and chose the Gold Finger to paint the center vein of each.

This gave the design a bit of sparkle.  I also splattered the top

portion of the panel only with the Gold Finger.

For my last bit of embellishment I used gold peel-offs from Love From Lizi

along the lines above and below the sentiment.

I cut a card base from Martini card stock from Brutus Monroe - it's a

gorgeous fall color.  I adhered my panel to the card base and

my card was done!

I hope you've enjoyed today's tutorial.  I love making fall cards and

they one came out so colorful!  Find this digital stamp set and many others at

Simple Spots with Rachel Vass Designs

 

Hello everyone!  It's a new month and it's New Release time at:

Rachel Vass Designs

Simple Spots

Today I've used Simple Spots.

I love the images in this set!  They are very whimsical and that was

the look I decided to go with for my slimline card.

I composed my image in the computer and printed it out onto

watercolor paper.  I trimmed it to fit onto a slimline card base by

using a stitched die.

I kept my painting on the whimsical side as well.  I wet each flower head 

with clean water and going beyond what was drawn.  Then I dropped in

color.  I used a warm yellow, a vibrant orange and a very bright pink!

I painted the leaves with one stroke as well as the swoosh

across the bottom with warm green.  Once this was dry and flat I added Stardust

Stickles to the centers and the ends of the petal lines.  Once

that was dry I mounted the panel into a piece of yellow diagonal stripe

card stock and then adhered that to a soft green card base.

And that finished my card!

So many possibilities with this cute digistamp set!  I hoped I've

inspired you to create something whimsical with these cute images!
