Hi everyone! We’re happier here now that the sun is shining again! Cool temperatures too! YAY!
I shopped the Spellbinders warehouse sale a couple weeks ago and picked up this Autumn Thanks Frame Press Plate. (It’s still on sale! link below) I inked it in the black ink that comes with the Betterpress and used Hobby Lobby brand watercolor paper. It worked great!
I have an old set of 84 Caran d’Ache watercolor crayons that are still basically brand new so I set to watercoloring after pressing. It worked so easy. I followed the coloring of a card Spellbinders is showing on the shopping page for this press plate. Yes, I’m a copycat. If someone has done something I really like, I figure why invent the wheel! haha I imagine they used Distress watercolor pencils so I’ll link those up too. I only have set 5 which isn’t any of the colors I wanted to use for this card.
poppystamps Happy Fall Moonlight Script die for the sentiment. I die cut from watercolored paper.
I was looking through a bin of layered sticker type packages and lo and behold I found an old pkg of K & Company Fall stickers with the perfect leaf and acorns to go on this card! By old I mean over 20 years old! I was sure tickled to use something from the stash. I hate to admit this but I tend to hoard cool stuff. I might need it some day for the ultimate project! haha I’m proud of myself for using them anyway!
This is an A2 size card. It was fun to color!

Oooh, you did good! I love that autumn frame and all these beautiful colors. Those stickers, too… I’m now wishing I had some of the things I purged, but I still have lots of odds and ends like this in my stash. Art journaling is going to make me use a lot more stuff — yay! Love your beautiful fall card, Pam!

I love all the colors! That is one thing that I sort of miss, all the fall colors, but I’d rather have the warm weather! LOL! Beautiful card Pam! Thanks for sharing.
