Whilst waiting 3 hours for my computer to update my iPhone I thought it was a good chance to crack on with my Craft Barn calendar challenge for September. The theme this month is brown trees/leaves. The mushrooms and leaves were stamped and embossed in white (with a little bit of masking). The Brusho was applied a little at a time by wetting the area and sprinkling a colour on. While wet the colour can be moved around or lifted off with a paper towel. The mushroom stalks and shadows were added with Promarkers.
The good news is we seem to be set for a few days of sunshine so we can enjoy the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.
Materials used:
Dylusions stamps: doodle parts, further around the edge
Stampendous embossing powder: detail white opaque
Brusho: light brown, crimson, lemon, gamboge
Distress Ink: clear embossing
Promarkers: burnt sienna, oatmeal, satin
Good idea to include mushrooms, less ubiquitous than trees and leaves for autumn but entirely seasonal for September. The composition of the page is lovely too...
