Fall by the Lake

We have just passed the peak of our fall colors here in Northern Minnesota.  This is only my second fall living here, and experiencing a true fall color season.  Last week my husband and I took a drive to see the colors, and discovered that some of the best were right in our backyard, well along the small highway and street we live on!  We also put our boat away for the season and I had to stop driving the boat to take some photos of the colors along the shoreline that were simply amazing.  So blessed!  At Retro Rubber each design team member choose our challenges throughout the year.  This is my theme challenge!  Perfect timing!

I choose a few old school ways to create this fall card to convey the beauty of nature around us.  It was really fun to create and color this card.

• The image is Stampendous 1995 is stamped on velour paper in Memento Tuxedo Black.  
• The image is colored with Prisma colored pencils.
• The image is adhered by using a slot punch to mount to cream cardstork.
• The edges of the cream cardstock is outlined in a metallic gold pen.
• Another layer of brown cardstock mounted behind before being mounted to a light green card base.
