Hello Autumn - Try a Sketch On Tuesday #654

Here is my Design Team card for Try a Sketch On Tuesday #654

The embellishment shouted out to me a fall card... now that doesn't mean you have to do a fall card. The oval was perfect for tall birch trees and colorful leaves falling. The first stencil (tree trunks) was placed on white cardstock and brush blended using fall colors for the background and rather than splattering color I used an element stamp, to simulate leaves falling. Removed the tree trunk stencil and positioned the second stencil (bark) and blended with brown ink. When stenciling was completed die cut my scene using a crooked edged frame and bordered it with brown cardstock by fussy-cutting around the frame.

I changed the sketch to protrait because the Oval was too big for the landscape sketch. Found a orange patterned paper with leaves similar to a birch leave and bordered it with Mocha cardstock. 



Cut many pieces of foliage in different fall colors and a flower for the embellishment next to the oval.  Found the perfect colored patterned paper on my desk just by chance, for the small panel behind the oval and a Sentiment sticker in the paperpack and bordered each with Mocha cardstock. Almost forgot the embellishments in the corners so went back to my stash and found some orange Dots.

This is pretty - I recognize the leaf background paper from way back!

Love the birch trees in the oval - wonderful add with the stencil. The falling leaves you created with the element stamp is cool.

So pretty! Beautiful die cut flowers surrounding the focal image. Great stenciling too. Thanks for sharing at A Cut Above's September, "Anything Goes with a Die Cut" and optional monochromatic challenge.

Your stenciled birch trees are wow, very nicely detailed! The coordinating colored papers bring your card together nicely!
