Clean and Simple Fall

 Hello!  I feel like I am mostly making clean and simple cards recently, and I think that is the time crunch I am constantly feeling.  It’s funny because other times I have really struggle if I tried to make one C&S.

 I am enjoying the lovely season of Autumn!  The weather is so nice this year.  

This card was created by first using gold texture paste through a stencil. I just eyeballed that it was a rough circle.  

Then I heat embossed my Stamptangle leaf from Just for Fun onto watercolor paper. I used water based markers to randomly add fall colors, then I used a water brush to blend.  I fussy cut this out and popped it up over the embossing.

I would love to enter this in ModSquad Autumn Foliage Challenge, Retro Rubber’s Anything Goes challenge (this stamp is a couple years old, and the company is out of business), and WordArtWednesday’s Anything Goes challenge.

Thank you for visiting today!

What a fabulous looking 'Fall' card. Great colours and the leaf looks amazing, along with the texture from the stencilling on the background x.

That is one beautiful autumn leaf and although the overall card is CAS, it took a while to achieve that fabulous look! Well done!

Wow that is gorgeous, I just love the embossing and the detail in that leaf, the embossed paste background is a great touch for it!

Lovely choice of colour for the card base as it really accentuates the autumnal feel of your card and lets that gorgeous stencilled paste show up well. Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber Challenge.
