I don't know if it's the same with you, but seeing it on my planner really did cause a stir. Thanksgiving is a week away! How did that happen?
I've been enjoying fall more this year as I am no longer in the North Carolina Sandhills which mainly has pine trees. Our move to the Charlotte area was good in many ways. We especially enjoy the beautiful colors in fall! The last of the leaves are hanging on.
Today's card features a bit of watercoloring, a newly tried technique, and the Scripture verse that has been a special comfort.
I began with stamping PB's Autumn Gala image in black onto watercolor paper. I used Distress reinkers and a damp paintbrush to color. The technique I tried was using Distress Glaze from Tim Holtz over the watercolored image, then heat embossing. He suggests adding more detail with Distress Crayons on top. I went with adding a pale watercolor wash to the background and a few more details on the leaves with the reinkers over the slick glaze. Here's a photo so you can see the effect is like crystals.
Putting the card together, the embossed panel is from the Variegated folder, and the verse is from Blessing: both by Penny Black.
Blessings! That's what I'm wishing you today. I am so glad that you could come by.
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!
