Good morning! Happy STAMPtember - I know it is coming to an end soon, but it's still September, so it still counts! Can you believe how fast this month went? I just got back earlier this week from a two week trip to Italy - so I'm adjusting to the colder weather, different time zones (hello jet lag!), and getting back into the routine of things. But fall is one of my favorite seasons, so I don't mind at all! And I'm grateful to be home for the last tiny bit of STAMPtember! Woohoo! Today I'm sharing a couple cards made with the NEW STAMPtember Release from Simon Says Stamp - I actually made these before I left, and didn't have time to get my post written up in the pre-trip flurry of activity! These use the beautiful pre-printed Suzy's Fall Watercolor Cards!
I colored them in two different ways. This first one, I used my Daniel Smith watercolors, then added a layer of sparkle over the leaves with my Nuvo Glitter Pen. I also coated some of the letters and the acorns with Glossy Accents for additional texture.
The second one I colored with Distress Inks in Fired Brick, Carved Pumpkin, and Mustard Seed - starting off with some distress ink smooshing, then layering on some additional color layers using the same colors of ink! I also added a splatter of white using Copic Opaque White medium for nice, thick, and opaque white droplets.
I trimmed both panels with Stitched Rectangles, matted with a bit of white cardstock, then mounted on kraft cardbases!
