Be the Change

Good Morning

Wow, this month just flew by.  

The nights are getting so much cooler and crisp as September approaches.  I had my acrylic paints out the other day, so decided to paint some leaves.  I love working with leaves as they are so simple to create with and can be found pretty much everywhere.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock, my acrylic paints, leaves from my tree in the backyard, a brayer and a great new to me sentiment stamp.
• I laid the leaves with the back, vein side up towards me, onto a piece of newsprint.  
• I put some yellow, orange and red acrylic paint onto my non-stick mat, being sure to keep the colours side by side but not touching.
• Using my brayer, I rolled into the paint and then onto the leaves, covering them with the paint.  I took the leaf and pressed it onto my cardstock.  
• After I printed all the leaves, I set it aside to dry completely.
• I placed the dry piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment with some Versafine Clair and clear heat embossed it.
• I added some lines using my Festive Berries Distress Oxide inks and an old gift card.
• Lastly, I splattered the panel using my black Posca paint pen.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
