I really like the Tendril Collage (D1269) because it looks great using fall colors, but you can also change the color scheme to blue and silver to make a wonderful winter landscape. Since I could feel a bit of autumn in the air today, I thought I would focus on fall colors.
To make this card, I sprayed a nonstick craft sheet with Butterscotch, Terracotta, and Cranberry Colorwash sprays. I really like the Colorwash sprays because they give you such vibrant colors. I spritzed the Colorwash colors with extra water the blend the three shades then placed a piece of 90lb watercolor paper on top of the craft sheet to pick up the color. I heatset my paper with a heatgun and then stamped the Tendril Collage on top with black Versafine ink. Once I cut out the collage, I decided to give my scene a bit of sparkle with some gold Twinkling H2O paint added to the sun and the top of the hill. To finish the card, I added some canary jewels, a piece of Twilight paper, and a layer of gourd cardstock to a licorice notecard.
Has anyone felt fall yet, or is it just me? Maybe it is just wishful thinking on my part.
what a beautiful card. I'd love to try to this technique. It is hot in MN.
