Autumnal wreath

Brrrr..... the temperature here has dropped sharply this week and it's starting to feel a lot more like early autumn than late summer, leading me to pick out some autumnal shades when I was colouring this.


I used the Misti to stamp the flower spray image four times evenly around the front panel. I'd made a test piece in scrap paper to help me position  the image, and had planned to have the four sprays closer to the centre, so they touched at the ends, but the longer branches reaching towards the centre made it look cluttered, so i moved the image further out and then after stamping added  a green leaf sprig in between, along with one at each corner. This left me space to stamp the sentiment in the centre. I coloured the flowers with Promarkers and ran an inkpad around the edge before attaching it to the front of the card.

I am sharing this with

This is lovely. The colours are just right and the wreath fits perfectly with the spaced out flowers. I agree it would have looked too condensed. Hugs Mrs A.

Good job altering things to make this look stunning for fall, Jane! Love the coloring! Here, too, we finally have a bit cooler temps to go with the very dark skies in the early morning. Love it! Hugs, Darnell
