Retrosketches #29

It's been awhile since I had the time to play along with a challenge. I found a few extra minutes over the weekend. I loved the sketch over at Retrosketches so that's what I went with. You just can't go wrong when it's a sketch based off of one of Laurie's cards.

We've had some very brisk mornings and it's starting to feel like fall here. I love the beautiful colors that come with the season and wanted to created a card that reflected that.

I stared by cutting the squares using my die. To make sure my leaves were in the proper place I lightly traced the squares onto my cream cardstock. To get the various colors on my leaves, I started by inking them with Simply Chartreuse. Then I gently tapped the edges with Terracotta Tile and Summer Sunshine. When I was done stamping I erased my tracing lines. So easy and such a beautiful effect.  The acorns were done with Simply Chartreuse and Ripe Avocado.

 I attached everything using my dots for a touch of dimension.

Here is this week's sketch.

Thanks for stopping by,
