Hello everyone and welcome to Day 1 of the Newton's Nook Designs September release! Today we are featuring a new stamp/die set called, "Shades of Autumn".
I started with some watercolor paper and painted the background using a few colors of green hybrid inks. After drying, I splattered with a little gold and black ink. While that was drying, I stamped and die cut out a bunch of these gorgeous leaves, they have a beautiful textured look to them! I assembled on my card front in a collage style, over a tied piece of gold twine. Lastly I add some enamel dots by GinaMarieDesigns and mounted on dark green cardstock, which I glued to my cardbase.
I decided to make a separate care using this gorgeous brand new stencil, Falling Leaves. I started with a kraft panel and stenciled the leaves on using 4 fall colors of ink, (yellow, orange, green, maroon) starting with lightest first. I added accents to the leaf edges with my white Gelly Roll pen to make them really stand out.
Once my panel was done, I colored the image of Newton in the pile of leaves and die cut him. That set is called "Autumn Newton", part of last month's release, pictured below. I die cut a scalloped piece from MFT Stitched Scallop Basic Edges die and foam taped the whole panel + image on top of my stenciled background.
