On to today’s tutorial...Enjoy😀


Hi Everyone, Nan here today with a project featuring the lovely Fall Roses released earlier this month!  I have colored it using so many different palettes and love each one better than the last!  I'm not really a card maker but love playing with inks and colors and textures and especially quotes to make art journal pages.  Some I plan on adding photos of my own but most can stand as just simple creations that make me smile!   This page started with, of course, the fabulous image and the quote.
I colored this version of the Fall Roses in deep oranges and reds.  I kept the colors going with some awesome brown, deep red, and orange falling leaves.  I colored all of the rose leaves using two shades of green.  I used my Soucolor Markers which for the money I must say I am enjoying them to bits!  For the background I chose a burlap textured piece of designer paper long lost and forgotten in my stash.  I cut it to fit my journal page and glued down.
 

Stenciling was next with some Distress Inks but the color just wouldn't pop so I went to a non-traditional papercrafting goodie of fabric paints in spray bottles!  Fun and oh so vibrant!  I took some bubble wrap, sequin waste and gold acrylic craft paint to make sure the background didn't compete with the image.  White tempura paint sponges through the sequin waste piece left some areas that when dried could be topped with Gelatos in red and orange.   A few spritz of Heidi Swapp's Tea Dye spray with some gorgeous shimmer and I had the background I wanted.  The burlap has an oh so autumn look to it and then the red, yellows, oranges, and gold of falling leaves.
 

Again, not wanting to loose all that fantastic detail in the Fall Roses image,  I left a good margin around the image when cutting it out. Then glued the image after inking with Distress Ink Mowed Lawn.
 

The last step was to add the quote!  I find it so satisfying to add a quote that matches my feelings for the image.  This one was spot on!  Lots of shimmer and shine makes for a happy page🍁
