The Essence of Autumn


I started by washing a piece of card with aquatints in orange, green and brown. Then using the same colours in inkpads I stamped a Sheena tree scape stamp a few times. I then cut out three rectangles from the scene and edged with a black sharpie.

Behind the scene I stamped the same image with a sepia ink pad and added the sentiments and birds.

I'm entering this into the CAS watercolour challenge for orange, green and brown


 and also Stamping Sensations challenge - Shades of autumn and Crafty Calendar challenge - Autumn.

I love your layers of trees, Linby! The colored rectangles are so pretty and fallish and the simple stamping behind them adds wonderful depth! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Watercolour!

This is so creative and beautiful Linby!! Fantastic design with the large, soft stamping of the image in the background, and three layered panels on top with deeper colours. Very unique! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!
You’ve done some beautiful Autumnal cards Lynn and this is one of them. I like the way that you’ve coloured the panels and then stamped trees in the background. Thank you for sharing this with us at Stamping Sensations and good luck. Sandra x

Wow, what a stunning card! I love the scene you have created but my most favorite is the "colored" in parts of the scene. Just so eye catching and beautiful. Thanks for joining in the Oct. CAS Watercolour challenge! Hugs, Brenda
