Autumn Harvest


This card features a beautiful stamp set called, Autumn Harvest!
Autumn and Winter are my favorite seasons of the year...this southern girl likes the cooler weather. And it's been so HOT here lately that I guess I was hoping this card would call in some cooler weather!
I was able to play with this stamp set the other night while I had my watercolor supplies out. I used a mixture of watercolor materials including wonderful watercolor crayons, prisma pencils, gamsol, and water to create this harvest.
I tried to add embellishment to this card but I did not want to add to much. So I finally decided on just a small piece of hemp as a border between the two background colors. The colors I used are pumpkin pie, handsome hunter, and more mustard.
I'm going to set this card aside and see who God wants it to go to this fall.
Technique:
