Whew! I haven't been in my craft room for more than a week. A lot going on at home, and my MIL is in clinic and we need to make alterations to her apartment before she can go home. Busy busy bee.
But I have an afternoon in my studio today. YAY! Playing with paper and ink is just what I need.
Orange is not a colour I use often, but Karen is hosting the OLW Challenge this week, and her theme is orange. I will also enter it for Addicted to CAS one layer challenge, the MoxieFab World Enthralled with Fall Tuesday Trigger Challenge as well as the Crazy for CAS challenge and their inspiration picture.
I used Spiced Marmelade and Ripe Persimmon Distress Inks on my craft mat and inked from there adding a spritz of water to give the watercolour effect. I added a shadow effect with prismacolour pencils.
WOW! Those leaves just pop off the page - the bright colours and the shadows take this card over the top! Beautiful OLW card!
