Rich shades of Autumn by Miranda

Hi there,

Yes, me again.........this time with one of my favorites....toadstools. I love them in all their varieties, they have something magical........I had some beautiful ones in my garden, they stood under the ' weeping birch' looking great with a few rays of sunlight and I wanted to take a photo.......I forgot and  the next day they were already black and gone.......so I've learned a lesson.......when you see something that beautiful just take your camera and shoot......

I've made a background using Distress inks and spattered with water to create some texture. I stamped the toadstools along a torn piece of paper and masked them to stamp a few more. At the top I stamped some of the leaves. I have been coloring with twinkling H2O's. The die cuts are also made of   some inky left overs. I also used some white Pan Pastel to create a misty effect between the toadstools and leaves.

I've used the Autumn Poppy sheet here.

Here you can see the lovely shine of the twinkle. H2O's.........

And now on to number 2...........I think my favorite.....like the vibrant colors and crispiness of it all.......

I've used the Autumn edges sheet here.

I've made a background using Distress inks and some fine salt to create some texture....... I've coloured the toadstool border with color pencils and gave white gel pen accents. I had already die cut a lot leaves from a piece of inked up paper........always comes in handy with so many Autumn cards.......

a closer look.......

Well, hope to have inspired you.......thanks for your visit and always like to read your comments or questions!

Autumn greet,
