Nature delights

I take delight in autumn colors. A late rose among yellow leaves, a red tree against a blue sky, s pot of dahlias and wilted violets.

Today I wanted to capture some of that colorful nature poetry. I selected a stamp set, a die, some scrap paper and pencils. I had a card in my stash with a piece of yellow gelli print, which I used for my background.

I started by die cutting a twig from the piece of yellow scrap. That was the bottom layer. Then I stamped the pumpkin, leaves and roses and colored them with pencils. The fussy cutting took some time with these intricate forms. When the were done I arranged everything so that the center would be left bare. The sentiment will go there once I decide what it will be, a 'hello fall' or 'happy birthday'... both are possible.
