Freshly Made Sketches #698

 
Kim brings us a color blocked Freshly Made Sketches #698.


But I didn't go that route. I got reacquainted with Tim Holtz's Leaf Fragment dies 
this past weekend and was inspired by Tim and some of his makers after watching 


I was going to get inky and color the leaves but reached for a pad of patterned
paper with autumnal colors. After cutting out several leaves I inked around 
the edges with brown ink and gold watercolor ink and spattered some, too.


I embossed a panel with a 3D embossing folder and placed the leaves on top.
It was a little challenging to follow the sketch with such abstract shapes
but I did my best. An Altenew sentiment finished off the card.

Is it me or does the orange leaf on the right resemble a chunky carrot? 
Maybe I should have used another paper. Oh well....

Thanks for stopping by!
