I have been wanting to make an autumn card, but I was struggling with the colour pallet. Then I saw the new Color Throwdown challenge and I really loved the pallet for a soft dreamy card:) As the SSS Monday challenge was also autumn themed I though to enter it for that one too:)
I basically stamped and heat embossed some leaves, loosely colored them in the challenge colour and hand wrote my sentiment. I coloured them lighter as they were falling down. But when I was done something was missing.
So I splattered the two darker colours but it was still not ready for me. That is when I saw a small solid leaf in the stamp set I was using (from Aladine). I put some colour on an acrylic block, dipped the stamp in it and stamped it for a loose, faded effect:) And then it was done:)
Mounted it on a pinky-saffrony-colored shimmer card base, Winked of Stella-ed the leaves and Hey presto- READY!
Very pretty! Thanks for joining us for the Color Throwdown.
