WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY WWC 240 - KATH'S "ALL ABOUT OCCASIONS" CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone,
We are definately into Fall here.   Cooler days and lots of rain.  I heard a rumor that "snow" was going to fall in the higher elevations.  I don't know about you, but I love the fall.   I am getting ready for a few Craft Fairs in the area, and have created a card and envelope folder that will make a great gift for someone.   There are "Thank You" cards and envelopes inside and the outside says " gather together & give thanks".  Such a beautiful sentiment.

My card was chosen by Helen one of the Design Team Ladies:

Helen's Rocker:  Heather's beautiful Autumn toned card features gorgeous leaves she has created with a great mix of colour, shape and texture. It was certainly worth trying out a new technique, Heather! Well done!

Thank you so much Helen!    This is truly an honor!

Hello there!
Well, I am starting my Fall/Autumn cards now.  Getting ready for a Craft Fair in October.    I played around with a new technique for the colors in Autumn leaves, and I think they came out pretty good.   Take a look at the following pictures:

Close Up of the color on the leaf

Inside View:

Cardstock:  Olive Green, Chocolate Chip, dsp - Well Worn (retired), Glossy White

Ink:   Tuxedo Black, Re-inkers - Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Pineapple Punch, Garden Green re-inkers

Misc.:   Sponges, Colorful Seasons Thinlits Dies

Technique:  Gloss paper - drop reinker colors onto paper and sponge the ink to move it around, blending one color into the next.  Let dry, then use die cuts.

A very easy technique and lovely colors for your leaves.   Well that is all for this week's challenge - I hope you all go to WWC 238 to check out this week's Design Team cards and find your inspiration to create your own card.   Until next time, take care and enjoy yourself.     Heather and Pearl   😍😻
