The stamp is one of the more recently released Power Poppy digitals called Season's Seatings. I have this stamp in the So Grateful clear set and have loved it well, but was happy to see it now available in digital format 'cause you know I love to make them bigger.
Watercoloring was done with Tombow markers on Arches 140 lb hot pressed watercolor paper. I covered the card base with wood grain paper and bordered with a leftover scrap of lattice which, in turn, was bordered with a scrap of plaid. Carried the plaid up to the hearts to add some love to the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Pure Prairie Spirit clear set.
I hope you're on your way to a nice weekend filled with good things, and if you love stamping as I do, may your weekend include plenty of it. Take care!
Where to begin! I love the die cut at the bottom; I love lattice. Then we move on to the wood grain background paper, the offset main piece with the stitching all around and of course your coloring is amazing. Love the shade of blue on the chair and that sweet sentiment too.
ReplyDeleteWow! I ditto everything that Glenda said above. This is amazing. You have such a great eye for all the detail you put into your cards. It's all the little things that make your cards so special - ie: the little twine bow, the angle of your image, the little double hearts, stitching, and I could go on and on, oh and then there is your watercolouring which is stunning as always, you know exactly where to emphasize the light and dark spots. A delightful card to see today Leslie! Have a wonderful weekend. hugs,

That blue with the orange just pops...I just love this homey fall image! Love all the fun elements you added too...like the stitching..cute!
ReplyDeleteYou are right ... why should the Fall colors take all the prizes! LOL After all, look at these BEAUTIFUL flowers! Fabulous coloring (no surprise) and love the wood plank background. AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out picture perfect. I love the lattice die cut along the edge with the woodgrain paper. They just really go so well together. Of course your coloring is smashing as usual. I love the blue rocking chair. It really makes it all come alive.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Gorgeous, love your choice of colors and beautiful job on the water coloring. Great use of your lattice left over and I like how the plaid uses the colors from your image, like the jute bow to top it all off!
ReplyDeleteLeslie what a cozy , friendly sentiment to pair with your gorgeously colored, cozy scene! I want to hang out on that porch! Beautiful card with all your pretty embellishments that make your scene even more cozy! Sigh. It’s beautifully welcoming. XXOO
ReplyDeleteYour Tombow watercoloring is fantastic! And I'll bet you didn't know this, but you are the reason I decided to give Tombows a try - and now I love using them! Why in the world did I wait so long?!
ReplyDeleteI love this card with it's lattice border, and that perfect stitching - it's perfect! Using pumpkins (real or fake) to dress up with flowers or dried leaves is such a pretty way to say Hello Fall! Because our weather is still mild my Four O Clocks along the back garden fence are still putting on a show!

What a beautiful fall card! I love it with the pumpkin sitting on the rocking chair so inviting! We are preparing for a NorEastern so our pumpkins and flowers are hiding in the garage for now! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh Leslie, this card is just gorgeous, your coloring is, as always, amazing, love how you decorated this panel with all of the beautiful details, the leftover lattice border is awesome and I'm loving those sweet little hearts, great way to use your scraps.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card my friend.

OH, this card captures the essence of fall to me. The scene is so warm and inviting! I can just imagine the beautifully colored chair on a well loved front porch. Your colors and details are amazing, Leslie! Do I see a few dots of splatters? Love those! The depth of your coloring on the red flowers is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and so wonderfully colored, Leslie! And, your stitching is back. :) I've missed it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Leslie! I like the fresh fall colors that are light and airy feeling. Love the idea of this enlarged, beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card, Leslie! I love your coloring, and the bottom border reminds me of a country porch. Your stitching always adds so much too! Hugs and love! xoxo
