Happy Wednesday, peeps! I am way late today! But I've been experimenting in my craft room and having some fun with some old products and new products! I was totally enamored by THIS CARD created by my PP teammate, Stef. Wowza, it is amazing!
I remembered that I had some retired dies from SU called Stitched Leaves, and I thought I'd experiment with them to see if I could come up with something similar. I used blending brushes and ink instead of alcohol inks to color mine, but I was happy with the vivid colors I was able to achieve:
Stef's challenge was to only use rust and yellow, but I went with all the fall colors! The yellow leaf is diecut from some watercolor paper, but the other leaves were diecut with some new paper that will be coming out soon called Whispers of Texture. If you look closely, you can see a wee bit of a woven texture on them:
I also added some new embellishments called Pearls of Beauty, and I unraveled some burlap ribbon to create a rustic bow. Everything went on a panel of Country Woods DSP, and I stamped a sentiment from Simply Said. I am going to enter this at the Little Red Wagon challenge because they're looking for a Captain's "log"...anything woodgrain!
The leaves outside my window don't look quite this bright, but they are beginning to turn! Fall is definitely in the air! Thanks so much for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

These leaves are wonderful! So vibrant against the wood grain.
What beautiful Fall leaves, LeAnne! They are extra beautiful against the woodgrain paper!
You 'had me' at your gorgeous peeled paint, LeAnne! though your leaves are certainly bright and beautiful!

Your vibrant stitched leaves look lovely against the woodgrain background, LeAnne! This is a charming autumn card. Not a lot of color in our neck of the woods either, hopefully we'll see some soon!
So pretty and I love how colorful your leaves are! Great card, LeAnne! :)
This is beautiful with those bright fall colored leaves.
Fabulous card! So perfect for fall! Thanks for joining us at Little Red Wagon.
