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.

    1. 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!

    1. 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 :-)
