Autumn Trees Sneak Peak

 So, it looks like I missed posting last weeks card, oops. Things have been crazy.  So we will do two in one post.  Luckily they both are featuring the Autumn Trees bundle.  The first card I did, we were in a heat wave when I designed it and I was dreaming of cooler days and the autumn.  This weeks card, well, it is the last week of August and those cooler days/nights have arrived and now I am mourning summer LOL. 

Both cards use the same technics, I just made one with autumn colours and one with summer colours.  Which do you prefer?

The top card I stamped the tree with Early Espresso Ink onto Crushed Curry (yes that is right).  I wanted the part of the tree that wasn't being covered in die cut leaves to have fall hues to it.  I then sponged the leaves with Old Olive using blending brushes.  I coloured the branches with Pecan Pie blends.  I then cut out the tree with the outline and the detailed die.  I cut three of the detailed leaves, one in Cajun Craze, one in Pumpkin Pie and one in Crushed Curry.  I then took Cherry Cobbler ink and "blotted" the leaves to add different colours to each leaf layer.

For the summer card, I stamped the tree on Basic Beige and sponged using old olive and granny apple green.  I cut 3 leaves, one with Granny Apple Green and two in Old Olive.  I then blotted with Mossy Meadow.

The deer and ground I cut out using the dies and coloured with blends (Old Olive, Pecan Pie and Gray Granite for the rocks)
