Meet today's card.
With many Fall birthdays coming up on my calendar, I wanted to get a few cards made.
I began by using a Spellbinder oval die to cut a frame. I used that to figure out where I wanted to stamp my images. Using my MISTI, I stamped the trees by coloring them with Memento markers, sprayed with water and stamped. I repeated that process a few times adding layers of colors.
Using a scrap piece of paper, I cut a circle to use as a mask for the moon.
I sponged on Squeezed Lemonade, Ripe Persimmon and Barn Door Distress inks over the background and splattered with water for interest.
I removed the mask then pop dotted the frame over the image.
Adding my card to these challenges:

ReplyDeletehaha! I thought you had a reflection on your photo, that's how realistic your moon is! (or how vivid my imagination is??) Anyway, it's a lovely card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Karen. Everything about it is lovely, including your design and colors.
ReplyDeleteThis is so fantastic and beautiful! I just love how you get the most beautiful colors on your stampings and this one is no exception. I love the colors of Autumn and you have captured them beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI love the blaze of color in the background and the way you've watercolored the trees! The oval frame is perfect for this! Thanks for sharing with us again at CAS Watercolour!
ReplyDeleteWOW ... LOVE the gorgeous warmth of the sunset over your beautiful autumn trees Karen. Looks amazing in the oval frame. Thanks for sharing with us again at CAS Watercolour! xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Karen - the colours are so magical and I love the design.
ReplyDeleteI like this. Your scene is very autumnal and serene. This would make a lovely sympathy card as well.
ReplyDeleteOh Karen this is one beautiful autumn scene here. The colours are just perfect and the touch of white among the trees brilliant. I so love this card.
ReplyDeleteThere is only one word to describe this. WOW! Just WOW! Those trees look REAL and so is your colors on them! I've never seen them done so realistically before! You outdid yourself on this one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Kaen, love the colours and your use of the oval die cut. I need to invest in silhouette stamps, I think I have said this before but overtime I come here I end up thinking I need more.
ReplyDeleteWow what a beautiful Autumnal creation Karen the image and colours are the perfect depiction of this awesome season
