Leanne at the Paper Players has put together a very fall inspired colour choice this week – I think she’s hoping it will fix the hot weather! It’s done so in New Jersey, so thanks for that Leanne. It inspired me to pull out my Totally Trees set – not that it was put away. I can’t see it being put completely away for a very long time.
And here’s the banner which inspired my card
I made this card right after my Merry Medley one and so wanted to make a very CAS card to balance what felt like the busy-ness of that one! I started by stamping the green ground in pear pizzazz and the tree itself. For the leaves, I did the baby wipe technique. You grab a baby wipe, put it on your stamp-a-ma-jig mat or some other plastic (to prevent getting your grid paper wet) and add drops of ink from your re-inkers – I used crushed curry and cajun craze. Then when you ink up your stamp, you get an interesting blend of colours, just perfect for turning leaves. You can keep inking up your stamp and making more cards for a while so it’s not as wasteful in ink as it first looks. I then stamped the sentiment from Watercolor Wishes.
I matted this in pear pizzazz and put it onto a cajun craze card base to finish my very CAS Totally Trees card. Love all the white (well, very vanilla) space.
This is a gorgeous CAS creation….I love how you did the leaves! Warm and wonderful! Thanks so much for playing with my colors this week at the Players!
