Simple Scene

Hello everyone! 

I am here to show you my creation for the new challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges - 

Trees with Autumn Colours

It's such a hectic time at the moment for me that I felt the need to simplify...and the words on this Artistic Outpost stamp spoke volumes to me! 

I was struggling with this challenge - trying to get too technical and looking for something that was a real WOW! Then I took a step back and thought why make things difficult? - Sometimes simple is better.
 After all, the trees stamp is beautiful enough without any embellishments......

And this is as CAS as I can get I am afraid! Even when trying to keep things simple I can't resist adding in some rustic texture effects...

The card base was inked with Gathered Twigs and Walnut Stain DI and I stamped my favourite script stamp with Gathered Twigs DI and Potting Soil Archival ink to get a layered effect.

The picture was stamped with an Artistic Outpost tree scene in Potting Soil Archival ink and then had Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon, Fired Brick, Aged Mahogany and Walnut Stain DI's blended over it. I added the palest ink at the center of the scene to look like the sun was setting and the darker colours were added to the outside to give depth to the picture.

The I did some spritz and flick over the picture and spritzed it with some Pink/Orange ink spray.

The background of the card as also spritzed with a brown ink spray to add to the grungy effect

And there is my 'Trees with Autumn Colours'!
