My card started with a panel of Bristol Smooth that I ink blended with Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass, I blended to a white fade at the bottom so that it would slightly highlight the horizon for a small point of interest. I then squished a little of the ink onto an acrylic stamping block and added a tiny amount of water and splattered with a paintbrush to distress.
I then used the Spooky Scene Die and I die cut an A2 panel of more Bristol Smooth cardstock. The die cut comes apart like a jigsaw puzzle. I kept the outer frame white and set it to one side. I ink blended the tree and then the grass using Distress Inks. I put the pieces back together again upside down and taped them together then added dimensional foam tape to all areas and adhered it to the panel and at this point I also adhered the empty scene to the card base.
On yet more Bristol Smooth I stamped all of my images with Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil. I watercolour painted them using Kuretake Zigs, highlighted some areas with a Uni-Ball Signo white gel pen and then fussy cut the images and used more foam tape to adhere them. I decided to add a little humour with the 'happy fall' sentiment by having my squirrels throwing themselves from the tree onto big piles of autumn leaves beneath them. I love the feeling of pure joy and that they are relishing the change of season.
With everything in place I considered any final touches and decided on a few wood butterflies and flowers which just seemed to add that perfect finishing accent and the bunny and squirrel each hold up a little wooden heart.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I really appreciate it and see you next time!
