I’m playing along with the Where Creativity Meets C9 and the color challenge for the month of September.
I first started by stamping the Beautiful Branches in a variety of Distress Inks. Before stamping the images, I lightly misted the stamp to give the image a watercolor look. I then used some Shimmerz Paint in Coffee, Jilted Jade, and Gold Glimmer to highlight the leaves, branch, and orange fruit.
I added some watered down Distress Ink for the background as well as splattered the ink and Shimmerz. The sentiment is stamped in Vintage Sepia and clear embossed it. I finished it by using some brown and aqua card stock.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!
