A Little Bit of Autumn

Okay... don't tut at me!!... I know the summer's not over with but there's a different feel to those early mornings now and the sun rises with our bedside alarm so I feel a bit justified to share this card with you for Less is More's Washi challenge and CAS(e) this Sketch.
I had this sycamore leaf left over from a previous project.. it's been cut from watercolour card and dipped in diluted Distress inks to give that blotchy coloured effect, the heat gun helped to move the ink around too :0)


These two challenges seemed to work well together and it was good to have a play with some Washi Tape... it really does give instant impact and I love how the woodgrain shows through the solid brown tape too.
A possible new obsession are those candy dots from Stampin Up... I love how they add dimension but aren't too shiny and rounded .... think I might need them in each colour family *wink*

                                                                

Oakie dokie... need to get this entered as CTS closes its doors soon .. thanks for stopping by :0)

  18. Lovely card Jenny. The splatter adds a delicate background effect. I need to look at those candy dots, are they smaller than the Craftwork Cards ones?
