Autumn Leaf
Posted: September 15, 2012 Filed under: CAS, Maple Leaf, OLW, Penny Black 19 Comments
Once again I have combined the One Layer Wednesday challenge with the Less is More challenge. Cheryl challenged us on Wednesday to make an Autumn themed card featuring what we love about the season. For me it is the colours of the leaves. My favourite season is summer but the beautiful colours of fall help me cope with summer’s departure.
The challenge at Less is More today is to incorporate an oval into your card. It only took me three attempts to get my card the way I envisioned it! I stamped the leaf first then positioned an oval mask over it and restamped it and added more colour both on the stamp and by painting on some ink picked up from the stamp pad lid with a small paintbrush and some water. Before lifting the mask again I sponged and restamped the leaf.
I realize that I did a leaf card last week for OLW and Less is More. The layout is identical. Sorry to be so repetitive. The leaves are turning here and so my mind turns to leaf images!
( I finally posted some pics of my daughter at the National Track & Field championships on my other blog)
Supplies:
Stamps: Maple Leaf, …Wishes (Penny Black)
Inks: Memento Rich Cocoa, Rhubarb Stalk, Morocco (Tsukineko)
Such a simply beautiful layout, simply beautiful stamping technique. Thanks for sharing.
As beautiful as ever Heather. I love that leaf image.
Thanks so much

It’s stunning, Heather! One can never have to many fall leaf cards!! You should also link it to Susan’s sidebar for the Gratitude Campaign.
Love the colours you have chosen, that leaf and oval go really well together.
