and
I wanted to prove that you can take the cutest image and come up with a more elegant look.
I chose water color paper for the main panel and stamped images from Sunny Studio “Beautiful Autumn” with MFT insulation pink ink.
Next I watercolored them with Distress inks aged mahogany, fossilized amber, gathered twigs, peeled paint rusty hinge, brushed corduroy and forest moss..
Once dry I stamped the sentiment from Sunny Studio “Autumn Greetings” using Distress Archival ink vintage photo.
Such a great autumn card, those colours are gorgeous, they fairly glow! Cathy x
ReplyDeletewhat an elegant card Arlene - love the way you have used and coloured the images

I had to look up the stamp set. Yes, it could be cute with the faces and different coloring and design, but you made it dignified and gracious with your beautiful coloring. Very rich and lovely and I'm so pleased you shared with us at CAS Mix Up!
