Tilda's Town: Autumn Scene

We have new challenge theme at Tilda's Town today. This week, our theme is:


Fall/Autumn is my favorite time of the year. The leaves turn into an array of gorgeous colors and the heat of summer dies down. My card today features Tilda with broom from the Turning Leaves Collection.

For the last 2 weeks, I have been playing with Copics and set aside my DIs for a while because of an accident...well, I spilled water on my table and I messed up some papers. Ugh!  LOL 

Anywhooo, you might have noticed Tilda's hair. This is my first time to color hair this way.  And I know I need alot more practice to get it right.  But for now, I'm good with this one. :)

ATS Thankful for Fall

Today we have another set of stamps which is part of the September release.  And this set is called

"Thankful for Fall"

It comes with 3 images and some sentiments. 

My card today is inspired by a painting I saw when I was a little girl. I still remember is it vividly, framed vintage style and the image is similar to what you see here. So I tried to incorporate it in my card today. 
 

I did alot of distressing here and I stained the edges of the paper. The DP already had that vintage design so that made it go well with the distressed edges.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the leaves are from Michael's (I think...)
I colored the image with Copics (sorry I didn't make a list) which I have been using a lot lately.

Visit the ATS blog to see what my teammates have made for you today.

The DP are from different collections and I layered them up.

Some Liquid Pearls were added and Glass Effects for the head light.
