While the rest of the world welcomes Autumn, we are in the middle of a really wet and rainy spell waiting for the arrival for spring. But I had no problem at all coming up with cards for this months Mixed Media Card Challenge theme. We had 62 gorgeous cards last month and each was a piece of art.
Instantly I thought of Canberra in Autumn - wide quiet roads lined with trees, each a beautiful bright shade of red, orange, yellow and brown. For those you who want to have a glimpse of what I mean, here is a photo .
For my card the base is watercolour paper with grainy paste + gesso through a stencil. The edges have been done using a blue mist. For the centre panel I used the Andy Skinner: Water Splash Technique.
Finally to finish off the cards, the leaves are Silhouette cut from metal sheets. One of them has a little pale yellow paint pounced on it.

This month we also have a sponsor - Add a little Dazzle. They are giving away a $15 gift voucher. Head over to the MMCC blog to read about how you can be in the running for this prize and also the lovely pieces by the DT. Hope to see your card in the link up this time around too.
Stunning card with such vibrant colors, Kripa. I could visualize the scene without going to the link, superb take.
