LiM entry - colour challenge

Hi fellow bloggers
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,
