I have been struggling with a creative slump lately and waited until the last minute to create my challenge card. Fall is by far my favorite season. I love the warm days and cool nights. I love the beach at this time of year - "local summer" as we call it here in NJ. I was looking through my autumn themed stamps for inspiration, and ran across these wonderful Penpattern Leaves. One thing led to another and I dug out my alcohol inks, created a panel using fall colors, and used Alcohol Lift Ink to create the pattern from the stamp on the leaf die cuts. In the end, I love the way the leaves came out. It was so much fun playing with the Alcohol Inks. I really should dust them off more often.
Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can see what Darnell and the Design Team have created for your inspiration. What is your favorite season?? Come play with us and share your favorite season creation in the gallery!

Stephanie, Mother Nature could take a lesson from you! why are there no purple leaves on trees in Autumn? Love your tumbling oak leaves!

Great colors on those pretty leaves for a really nice fall/loal summer card! I love those dies that frame the leaves too! This card reminds me of wine country colors...wouldn't that be a fun trip one day?!!
Ooohhh, what pretty leaves you've created! I want a tree filled with them in my yard!
Oh WOW! Your leaves are amazing! I love the colours and pattern! I hope creating this will help you get your mojo back:)
