Autumn Leaves

I used the sketch at Atlantic Hearts Challenge this week and the colour scheme from Heart 2 Heart Challenges to come up with this Autumnal card. The colours are Gypsy, Cashmere, Barn Red and Sunset. The stamp comes from one of the sets which co-ordinate with the Art Philosophy cartridge, with the leaf insignia cut at 2".
I've used the pigment inks today because I am trying to practise using them a bit more and become more proficient at getting a good image from them.

    Fabulous job, the colour really pops where you used the pigments, they are very vibrant. Thanks for playing along with us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

      Hi Michelle, thank you for commenting - yes I am starting to enjoy using the pigments a bit more - learning which colour card to use them on, and how much ink to add etc. It's fun!

    I love your leafy design! beautiful colour choices for a lovely fall card (although I think its spring for you down there?). Thanks for linking up with Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge this week--we hope you'll "play" again.

      Hello Canadian Liner, yes it is spring! But I was inspired by your lovely examples, and I do love the autumn colours too. The Art Philosophy leaves actually made me think of your Canadian symbol :-)
