We're on month 9 of the Craft Barn calendar challenge and this time the prompts are brown and leaves. I wanted the page to reflect the golden tones of Autumn rather than just the brown so I pulled out all my yellow/orange/brown DIs and got dabbing with some cut n dry foam. I used brushed corduroy to edge the card with a bit of walnut stain. I then used a Dylusions stencil with peeled paint and gathered twigs along 2 sides of the card. The falling leaves were made from brown parcel paper scrunched up, inked with various DIs and spritzed with a gold shimmer spray. Whilst still wet, I smoothed it out and when dry I used a CB fall leaves die to cut some oak leaves.
Beautifully done - a great mix of colours and scrunchy leaves too.
ReplyDeleteFab page for September! I love the shape of oak leaves, and using brown paper gives that crunchiness!

ReplyDeleteA lovely warm page - the sun shining through the mist and leaves x
ReplyDeleteLove the oak leaves (inventive use of the humble parcel paper...)!
ReplyDeleteI chose to use all of the fall colours in my page too not just the browns, because September is that month between summer and Autumn and there's definitely a lot of green about.
Gorgeous Autumnal colours as beautiful as your blog background :D
