It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Linda and here’s what I did with it!
The mornings are already cooler even though the days top 90 every single day. I'm feeling autumn on the way! It's my favorite season so I just could not resist a big fall leaf for the circle on the sketch. This is Honey Bees Lovely Layers Maple Leaf. I used softer colors than I typically use for fall and then some pops of gold. I used a gray background because I like vivid fall colors with a cool, frosty look. I'm regretting it though, I think it all would have been better on a warm kraft but after adhering all the little pieces, it was too late to go back! The sentiment is a from a set by scrapbook.com. I started out with every letter being a different color to mirror the leaf but it took the focus from the leaf.
Now if the days would just get a little cooler around here - life would be perfect!!
I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.

You have a lot of patience to inlay all those bits and pieces but it was worth it! Beautiful fall card!
ReplyDeleteInlaying all those pieces is one of my favorite techniques to use in card making! I know how much time and patience it takes, but the look is fantastic!! With that pretty embossing and those soft colors this looks absolutely stunning!
