Another Saturday and another LiM challenge! This week the coloiur challenge has a theme of autumn bounty. After a bit of a panic as to what I could do for that I decided on a card that could be given to a teacher instead of the real apple!
I found this embossing folder that I think I got as a free gift about 4 years ago and wasn't sure how it would turn out but seems to have come out ok.
I embossed the apple design on centura pearl card, and used 5 distress ink pads to colour it in with the help of a little water on a brush. - Aged mahogany, tea dye, peeled paint, pine needles, forest moss and fired brick.
2 of the same ink pads,, fired brick and peeled paint were then used to stamp out the sentiment which was done with single alphabet stamps,
Looks like you had fun colouring this apple Bea. I love Distress inks too!
