Hello Fall Leaves 🍁

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone well! Can you believe it's already October? It's still warmer than normal & very dry here. We had a little rain Sunday, but that's been it for several weeks. All I can say is I'm glad I'm in the mountains & not down near Atlanta. They've had another week of record highs. It's a good 10-20 degrees cooler where I am, thank goodness. But still nowhere near where it should be in October.

There was a color challenge this on Splitcoast using pear, mango & rose for the colors. To be honest, these colors are not on my go to list..a little too pastel-y for me. But I guess that's why it's called a challenge. For my card, I first inked a craft sheet w/ distress oxide inks, misted then pressed my paper to it. After I dried it, the leaves were stamped, masking as I went. I pressed some mini Distress inks to a solid version of the leaf, spritzed it then stamped it inside the outline leaves. 

It still didn't look right, so I used a paintbrush & some embossing ink & painted inside the leaves & clear embossed them to make them stand out a bit more. The green pear top layer was die cut & the window was cut using my resizing technique to make it longer than a std rect. The 3 little leaves are from a couple of small punches. The fall part of the greeting was stamped & the hello is a double stacked die cut. 

Here's a look at the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
