Watercolor Autumn Days Card with Cindy Bristow

Watercolor Autumn Days with Cindy Bristow

 

Howdy!

 

It's cool and cloudy here in South Texas and I am moving at the rate of a slug.  I am going to blame it on the weather because it is not due to lack of caffeine.  I am enjoying my second cup of coffee and might even help myself to another once this one is finished.

 

 

Remember last week when I said I was going to be using some of my forgotten stash?  Well that is just what I did this morning.  I grabbed my Color Splash pencils and my much loved Autumn Days stamp set (SS-0006).  Autumn Days is one of my all time favorite stamp sets, even though it has Autumn in the title, I use it all year round.

 

 

I only used 2 of the leaves from the set and stamped them with Clear Embossing ink onto a Color Splash Sheet, sprinkled them with Gold embossing powder and heat set them with my Heat Tool.  Then I pulled out my Color Splash pencils and Blending brush.

 

After I finished watercoloring the image, I sprinkled it with Gold Silk and Cranberry Bliss silk.  The embellishment over on the right is made with (3) 1/8 inch strips of Raspberry Berry cardstock, a gold piece of Bloom-fetti ( I finally found a use for that stuff) and then topped of with a red gem from my Rainbow Drops.

 

Here are the dimensions for my card:

 

Color Splash Sheet:  3-3/4 x 5

Raspberry Berry cardstock 3-7/8 x 5-1/8

Oatmeal Cookie cardstock base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
