Hello, friends! I don't want to forget about fall card making, especially since I have some not-yet-used fall stamps in my basket. This Penny Black Autumn Masterpiece stamp is one of my newbies, but I believe it was released last year.
I embossed in copper on watercolor paper. The background is a light watercolor wash with Stampin' Up inks, while the image itself was colored with Tombow markers and blender solution. Then I proceeded to ruin a perfectly good painting by adding the splatters. It went horribly wrong because my paint was too dilute, tsk tsk. Hence, I have a small square card rather than a full size card with the beautiful fall branch trailing all the way down the front. We make do, don't we?
There's a bit of embossed brown peeking from behind the image panel. That's the Tim Holtz Sizzix Leaf Vein 3D embossing folder. Not a new item. It's very cool, but I've barely used it and I need to give it more time. I scuffed it up a bit and then rubbed it with ink.
I'll be joining up with the following challenges:
Penny Black Saturday Challenge -- Anything goes or optional "cute or spooky"
NBUS Challenge #67 -- Never before used schtuff. My Penny Black stamp is used for the first time.
Moving along to the next project on the list. Life is busy these days. See you again soon!
