Autumn Splendor - Angels Landing


Down, down, red and brown, the leaves are falling down to the ground. This simple rhyme I used to sing with my kindergarten students comes to mind as fall begins to arrive in Texas. I love the bold colors and loud crunch of the fallen leaves of autumn. I tried to capture the essence of the season with color and texture today.

This sweet bird is a digital image from Angels Landing's Autumn Tweetings. I printed the image on Stampin' Up's Naturals Ivory card stock and colored it with Prismacolor Pencils blended with odorless mineral spirits.

For texture, I used my new Cuttlebug Victoria Embossing Folder, Prima Flowers, Ribbon, and Martha Stewart punched fern.

Images: Autumn Tweetings by Angels Landing

Papers: Naturals Ivory, Really Rust, and Garden Green by Stampin' Up, Stamped Leaves by the Paper Studio

Coloring: Prismacolor Pencils and odorless mineral spirits

Embellishments: Prima flowers, Ribbon, Flat Back Pearl, Dimensionals, Punched Fern

Tools: Victoria Embossing Folder by Cuttlebug, Circle Nestabilities, Martha Stewart Punch

  2. Lovely combination of colors, Lynn. I like how you've done the subtle shading on the bird image. It looks natural that way, not overpowering.
