Hello Creative Friends,
Can you believe we are on the brink of Autumn.
Already the leaves have started to change colour and fall.
Here's a little Autumnal creation created during a much needed play day.
I found this wide rimmed wooden frame in a charity shop, painted in gesso
and applied sand paste through AALL & Create stencils.
Embellished with a strip of tapestry canvas & parts of a plywood frame
I then painted it all in gesso again.
Found leaves have been glued onto a recycled envelope to
hold their shape and to stop them from drying out so quickly.
Filling in the gaps of the frame with art stones a third coat of gesso is applied
Drops of alcohol inks are spritzed with water and white gesso
used to knock back the brightness of the colour.
Stamping a versamark embossing ink pad onto the leave and embossing
with clear embossing powder help to preserve those beautiful leaves.
Time to start layering those natural elements.
I chose to use just one of the leaves and team it up with some fallen twigs,
Added a whimsical word from Paperbabe stamps, a dot and dab of
liquitex gold ink and a flick of white paint.
My Autumnal box frame is complete.
I do love the warmth of colour that Autumn gives.
Thank you for sharing your time.
Wishing you all a super weekend.
Creative Hugs & Wishes
