Hello there! I'm super excited to be the Guest Designer over at The Male Room Challenge!!! YAY!!! A GIANT thank you to Helen and the team for this wonderful opportunity!!!
This time around the challenge theme is "leaves."
Autumn is my favorite season. It's also my husband's favorite season---primarily because he's a hunter and a football fan---but also because we love autumn hiking adventures here in the mountains---the crisp air and the colorful leaves covering the trees and trails. So that was my inspiration for my card:
I die-cut all of my pieces for the branch, leaves, and acorns from white cardstock. I added ink to each one with blending brushes and a selection of Catherine Pooler inks. I splattered the leaves and acorns with metallic gold watercolor and then assembled the pieces onto my card popping up one of the acorns for a little dimension.
The sentiment was hot foiled with copper foil and then die-cut with the coordinating die. I love the touch of shine it adds :)
Thank you for visiting!!!
I hope you'll join us over at The Male Room Challenge! I look forward to seeing your creations!!!
Have a fantastic week!!!
