Covered Bridge on a Leaf

Hello stampers! A new month and of course a new theme at Craft a Scene, this month our challenge is called 'fowl weather'. Not such bad weather on my scene (I promise I'll do some really bad weather on my next scene!), but indeed birds in flight.

 

I love autumn scenes, because of the beautiful colours. For something different, I made a leaf shaped card, using the Sizzix Birch Leaves die. Glossy cardstock was die cut with the leaf die and the lovely Stampscapes Covered Bridge stamp was stamped on top. It covers most of the leaf, all I did was to extend the path a bit, stamp some branches in the foreground, a sentiment, and of course the birds.

The scene was coloured as usual with dye inks and a Colorbox Stylus tool (see this tutorial). I used a Ranger Craft Nib for all the small spaces and for the leaves. Highlights were added with a white gel pen and mist by dry brushing white pigment ink, mainly under the bridge.

Thank you for looking! Don't miss the DT cards, we have a great variety as always.

Happy stamping!
