The color of autumn is stunning especially when you live in the Bay Area like I do. The leaves change into a brilliant color of orange, burgandy and burnt sienna. For Lawn Fawn’s #85 challenge, Awesome Autumn, I decided to use handmade watercolors from Case For Making on Distress watercolor card stock. Case For Making is an art stored located in San Francisco. They have an urban hip vibe which I love. Case For Making has curated specially selected art supplies. In addition, they also have classes which you can take on line. Although I do not work for Case For Making I thought I would share a cool place to visit if you are ever in the city.

The leaves were created by using Lawn Fawn’s Stitched Leaves dies. I ran the stitched leaves through die cut machine thus creating watercolor leaves. By using Tomboy Mono Dots Adhesive I was able to glue the leaves to the camera.

In the photo, two Gnomes are featured from the stamp set called Oh Gnome by Lawn Fawn. I used a stencil called Grassy Hillside to anchor the figures so they would not look like they were floating in the air. Again, I colored the figures with handmade watercolor from Case For Making.

I do not work for Lawn Fawn or Case For Making. I am sharing what I know and love. Although, I have used compensated affiliate links when possible at no cost to you.

What an awesome autumn day! Lawn Fawn Challenge #85 has inspired this card. Using Den Sweet Den stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I have also utilized other stamp sets from the same company like Christmas Dreams which is where the fireplace, rug and clock can be found. The leaf in the shaker window is from the stamp set called Thanks a Latte. In addition, I used Lawn Fawn’s brick stencil to give the card a room like feel. I remember when I was a little kid I used to love to read in front of the fireplace on a cool autumn evening.

In addition, to using Lawn Fawn products I have also used other products to make this card look like a room in your home. I used Hero Arts Infinity Dies, specifically Wood Frame dies and Rectangle dies. The film transparent can be purchased at Michaels. You can also use any acetate. I’ve included the link to Michaels make it easier to find. Just link on the word Michaels.

Coloring this card was fun because I got to used different techniques. First, I colored the bears, books and rug with Copic Markers. Also, I used Distress Oxide Ink , Crackling Campfire, and Distress Ink Vintage Photo to color the Brick Stencil from Lawn Fawn. The floor is a wash from the Hickory Smoke Distress Ink. I like to give texture to cards because you can run your fingers over it and feel that its glazed, so I highlight certain areas with a pen called Glaze black ink by Sakura. It make the eyes and the nose of the bears stand out. With Glossy Accents, I created a glass over the picture that says, ‘Den Sweet Den’. The fire in the fireplace also has glossy accents.

The shaker window was made with a transparent film called Dura-lar. I used Nuvo Luminos Lilypad Hexagons and Honey Bee’s Spring Fling Mint Julep. Both are linked to the company, just click on the company’s name. I am not employee by any company mentioned in this post however I used affiliate links when possible at no cost to you.

I love sharing what I have learned. Hope you enjoy your day and this post.
