WOW, can you believe it is already October!!! Fall is in the air. I love this time of year. Fall in New England is the best. I wanted to use some fall colors along with one of the new shoes. I decided to make a Vintage Flowers card. I wanted it to be really soft and old looking so I used some 969 and some 636 for a soft purple color.
Card Details
I started off by inking up the Vintage shoe from the New WC Shoe Set with 969 and 636. I stamped it off a couple of times and then stamped it in the middle of my watercolor paper. I pull the color out of the lines making sure to keep the shadowed area really dark. I added some additional color from my TwinTouch brown marker. I love it’s fine tip. Using my palette, I added some additional 636 to some of the darker areas on the shoe.
I took the vine from the original foliage set and inked it up with 177. I added it to each side and around the top of the shoe. I used a damp brush and softened the leaves. I took the small flowers (shaped like hearts) from the Bible Flowers Set. In order to get a balanced look, I inked the flowers in 055, 856, and 925. I stamped them 3 times each around the shoe trying to maintain an oval type shape.
After I added water to the blooms, I added some additional foliage with the small vine from the WC Foliage Set 4 inked with 177. I filled in some of the blank areas and added water. To complete the arrangement I wanted to get a little bit of height on the left side, so I used the delicate branch from the Foliage Set 4 inked with 379.
To ground my shoe, I added some 969 with a little bit of 636 to get a wood floor look. Finally I signed and dated!
