I wasn't sure that I would take part in this week's less is more challenge. The inspiration colours are beautiful, but I didn't know what I would do with them.
This is the photo from which the colours have been taken,
Bu then Laura took part and bascically challenged me to do so....
....so then I had to.
I've been enjoying playing with PaperArtsy's fresco paints recently, but I didn't have the quite the right colours, so I decided to have a play at mixing colours.
Cinnamon and smoked paprika made a nice dark rust, Tinned peas and little black dress made a good dark green.
Now these colours made me think of the change of summer to autumn, so I decided to play with paperartsy's small oak leaf die. I painted the die cut with the green paint and then overstamped it with the rust using the splatter mini, repeatedly.
To finish I stamped onto the card with a script stamp and the rust paint. I attached the leaf and a tiny knot of string.
Super - I keep forgetting about paint as a stamping option, thanks for the reminder
