Autumn colors

Fall is knocking at the door even though it is in the 90's here. I love the changing colors of the leaves and the beauty it brings. Also, we have cooler mornings and evenings and warm days. Autumn colors is the theme of casmixup challenge this month and it is perfect. I used a die from  Impression Obsession called Fall Leaf Background over alcohol inks on vellum. When I do the alcohol inks I drop on small dollops of AI and spritz with alcohol, then touch with a paintbrush and let them move. I think of that as watercolor so if that's not right, just delete my card. I don't make many fall cards but I do like the colors. Lets all enjoy fall before the cold and snow settles in.







Be kind to one another.

Your method for using the alcohol inks sounds like something I might like to try. Beautiful colors and cover die for your fall card, Brenda! Thank you for joining us at CAS Mix Up!

Gorgeous background colors. I haven't tried that on vellum but I sure like how it looks. Great backdrop to you leaves.

Beautiful card Brenda! I am so loving the look of the AI's on the vellum that you got. I love autumn too for the warm days but cool mornings and evenings. Just not ready for any kind of winter though! lol If only winter was shorter, I'd be a happy camper. Hugs, Brenda

Hi Brenda. Gorgeous Autumn card with the beautiful Alcohol Ink colours in the background. I do love your card!! AI's are not watercolouring. You have to use water and colour on your card for it to follow the prompt ... and there has to be white space with no design. I will not delete your card from the challenge, but hope that you might have time to make another following the challenge. Love you, Loll

Oh, what a beautiful fall card, Brenda! Yes, I love e colors of fall and you captured them perfectly on your lovely card! A wonderful die cut, too! I hear it’s warm back home, but more hot here in AZ where we are visiting family. Thank goodness for air conditioning! Take care, hugs!!

Fall has definitely arrived here & we're so grateful to have lower temps & some rain! Gorgeous cover plate & card, Brenda!

Another gorgeous all over design, Brenda! I am clutching my pocketbook between my knees, but I feel a wave of enabling coming at me! The background peeking through is beautiful. Hugs, Darnell
