Melody of Colours

Morning.  Thanksgiving is quickly approaching for those of us living in Canada as we celebrate our holiday at the beginning of October.  Penny Black has just released some fantastic new products just right for creating cards for this celebration.  I was inspired by the challenge at Splitcoast this am. so I was off to stamp away.

The new leaf set called Lush and Lavish has such fantastic textures to the stamped image.  I inked the stamps with a main colour of Distress inks then touched the edges with another colour.  When sprayed with water, it gave the leaves a blended, multicolour look.  When dry, I inked up the script stamp with Tea Dye Distress ink, stamped off then went onto my card front.  By stamping off, the image is softer and more faint as not to overpower the beauty of the leaves.

I wanted to add the sentiment in a more unusual way, so I cut a slot in my card front and slid the panel behind the greeting from the Fall Flutters set. 


I am also adding my card to these challenges:
