Coloring Leaves

Are the leaves starting to turn by you?  They are here in Wisconsin.  Give it a couple more weeks and the color will be fabulous.  I love going for drives this time of year.  I'm thinking about going to visit my daughter just so I can see the scenery.  That's sad.

I think Bloom & Joy Stamp Set is the sleep set in the Holiday Catalog.  Even on Pinterest, I don't see many cards posted using this stamp set.  For me, it caught my attention because it is not just Christmas or fall, but both.  I love sets that don't target just one theme.

We made this simple card in club last night.  The leaves are colored by using markers.  I used Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry and Mango Melody.  Don't forget to start with the lightest marker and work your way to the darkest.  Some parts actually look green.  Must have been when the colors were mixed on the stamp.  

The stripe piece is the Magnolia Lane DSP.  I needed something to ground the tree.  By tearing the one side, it added some texture without any fuss.  Sorry, you did have to fussy cut the urn.  

Oh, don't forget the rhinestones!
