Fun Fall Cards...

I love the Fall! The colors can be so stunning, sometimes the trees look like they are on fire. It has not been a stunning year here in the Northeast for foliage, but some of the trees are looking lovely. This card is made using a background technique and a beautiful Lockhart stamp. To make the background piece, I started with lightweight watercolor paper and stamped an Impression Obsession large background stamp with pigment ink and embossed in gold. Then I took some of the Ranger Distress Stains and applied them to the cardstock, then misted with plain water. The water reacts with the stains and blends the colors together. The wreath image was stamped with VersaFine ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils. The ribbon is from May Arts. Simple and lovely.

Thanks for stopping by today!
