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.

Super card, Lynn! I'm enjoying seeing the Autumn Tweetings designs done in so many different colors by the team! All have been fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLovely combination of colors, Lynn. I like how you've done the subtle shading on the bird image. It looks natural that way, not overpowering.

This is very sweet! Definitely a fall looking card. I remember singing that little song with my Pre-K classes too and we would play like we were leaves floating to the ground!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the bird on this one, love the little over-hang and the colours you used!
