Vintage Leaves

A simple, pretty card for autumn featuring Vintage Leaves, Acorny Thank You and Into the Woods DSP.  Perfect for Thanksgiving, friendship or any occasion.

The leaf is stamped with Cajun Craze ink, and colored with Daffodil Delight marker.

Now, I know that the yellow on the leaf looks more like one of the other yellows, but no!  Because I colored over the Cajun Craze ink, which is water based, the colors blended a little to give me this lovely soft autumn yellow.

To achieve this look, start coloring in the more open parts of the image, stroking inward in one direction so that the colors don't smear too much.  As you go over the russet color of the leaf, your yellow marker will pick up a little of that ink, and give you a softer, darker yellow as you go.  As you color over the denser part of the image, it will give you a lovely bright orange.  I also brightened it further with a little Pumpkin Pie marker here and there.

The body of the acorn is Soft Suede, and the cap is Early Espresso.  Stamp the body, then punch the acorn shape out with the Acorn Builder Punch, then just stamp the cap at the top of the punched shape.  It is pretty easy with the see-through polymer stamps!  The acorn is popped up on dimensionals.
