AUTUMN IS HERE

Autumn has arrived, but then, we really didn't have much of a summer!  The colours I have used in this card have a definite cool feel to them.  Quite appropriate for the way the weather has turned!

I haven't used my Bryaer in a while, so it was time to pull it out again and have another play.  My last use of the brayer was a bit of a distaster and you can read all about that HERE.  I am happy to say this one turned out beautifully this time!
I keep meaning to photograph the process for you so you can see how I achieved the scene, but I always forget to pull out the camera!  I hope to bring you a tutorial soon.

 I have also decorated the inside of this card.  I always do that on cards I am pleased with! The list of colours and product I have used for this are:

Stamps:  Simply Soft, Word Play
Inks:  Marina Mist, Pool Party, River Rock, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive (marker)
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Basic Black, Pool Party
Accessories:  Post-it-notes (for masking), Brayer, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Dimensionals

I love the brayer effects on ths card - a beautiful scene and definitely worthy of decorating the inside.

Fabulous, Paula. There's something very New Zealandy about the beach scene; maybe the plants/trees make me reminisce about Pohutukawas. Love it!
