Happy Fall Morning

Good Morning!  What a gorgeous Fall morning here!  Blue, blue skies, bright sunshine, cooler temps and NO humidity!  What more could a girl ask for?  In a little bit I will head out to the gardens to pick and store some flower seeds.  I hope to have a surplus of Purple Cone Flowers, Shasta Daisies, Marigolds (don't think I have bought one in the last 5 years!), Cleome, Black Eyed Susans and Cosmos......just to name a few!  I actually still have quite a bit of color throughout the yard, and I am happy and thankful for that.

Now on to some Fall Colors!

Flourishes has a wonderful Challenge going on, adding Dots.  You may add dots to your background or colored image. 

On Tuesday they had this great Pointillism Tutorial.

noun: pointillism
  1. 1.
    a technique of neo-Impressionist painting using tiny dots of various pure colors, which become blended in the viewer's eye. It was developed by Georges Seurat with the aim of producing a greater degree of luminosity and brilliance of color.

I'll try anything at least once, so here is my effort:


I decided to use this technique for coloring the image and adding some Fall color to the background.  I like how this came out and might try it in the very near future again.



I used the Flourishes stamp set, Autumn Blessings......kind of says it all doesn't it?   Many Copic Markers, Nestabilities Classic and Scalloped Circles, Sizzix Decorateive Swirl #4 die, burlap style green fabric, buttons and twine.

This card will be entered in 3 Challenges:
