Fallish cards

I did get to play recently with some card ideas. I'm liking these fall and Christmas sets and having fun playing with them. I've been doing similar cards, but with different ways of doing them. This one is colored with Crayons - Earth elements. It's a slightly different effect but still lots of fun.

One tip I give when I color with the crayons - color the darkest areas the most and then use the aqua painter to smooth out and blend the colors.

Stamps: Autumn Harvest, Best Yet
Inks: Close to cocoa, Pumpkin pie, crayons - earth elements
Papers, Pumpkin pie, Old olive, ww
Accessories: aqua painter, ticket punch




This card was also fun to make. This was done with sponge daubers. I don't know if you can see the fine detail or not, but there are subtle changes in the colors and shading. You might could see it best in the words. This is a different color technique, but just as fun.



Stamps: Inspired by nature
inks: Chocolate chip, Summer Sun, Really rust, old olive, garden green
Papers: ww, really rust, old olive
Accessories: daubers, wide oval punch, chocolate chip grograin, dimensionals

So I hope you enjoyed these ideas. Hopefully it challenges you to do some watercoloring too.
