Autumn Embellishments

Autumn Embellishments crop

Look familiar? I actually liked the colors and textures of this card so much that I chose to use it for my Autumn blog header!

Today is the Rubbernecker Blog challenge. You can check out all the details HERE.

Sherry said we should use embellishments, so I kept adding them until I ran out of room! I consider the leaves and acorn to be embellishments right along with the lace, ribbon, and hardware.

Autumn Embellishments

The leaves are made with alcohol inks on glossy white cardstock. One of these leaves was actually made when I worked the Rubbernecker show booth in Greenville, SC, last month. The acorns were stamped on white cardstock, colored with Copic markers and then painted with my new Rustic Red Shimmerz.

Here’s a close up (click to make it even larger):
