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
his latest video.
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!

ReplyDeleteYour leaves are absolutely stunning! I love your addition of gold on the edges and the splatters. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteI don't see any carrots, Donna, LOL! It looks like leaves to me and what a nice arrangement that works perfectly for this sketch!
ReplyDeleteDonna, I love it when your leaves come out to play [I almost used them, too!] Your arrangement is perfect for Kim's sketch - love the gold edges! That paper is amazing - no carrots in sight!

I absolutely love what you did with these leaves, Donna! None of which look like carrots to me. :) Always a real pleasure seeing your card in the FMS gallery!
