Changing Seasons

Oh my goodness where is the year going, we're romping through and it's already time for another challenge over at Fashionable Stamping. This month our theme is 'changing seasons'. I had an idea immediately but then it took a while to work out how to get the effect I wanted. In the end I went with my Brushos to create this card -

I stamped and embossed the trees first on water colour card. I used a paint brush to 'paint' water in a strip, sprinkled the first Brusho colour and as it was drying moved on to repeat for each strip so the colours gently blended at the edges. When all the colours were done I sprayed with more water, held the card up to allow the colour to run.  Once it was all dry I painted a rough wash of walnut stain distress ink across the bottom half and added some stamping with a script stamp. 

To each tree I applied dots of paint and stickles glitter glue in varying colours to represent the seasons and also added a little transparent texture paste.

As always my fellow FSC teamies have created some beautiful works of art so please head over and check them out. I hope you feel inspired to join our challenge - Don't forget we are a stamping challenge and stamping needs to be the focal point on your project. NO Digi stamps please. Our sponsor is Flonzcraft and the winner chosen at random will receive a voucher for $20 - we also give special mention to our top 3.
