Just Us Girls #697 - Photo/Moodboard Week

Carol Mayne is our host for Photo Week at Just Us Girls and she has a great moodboard for this time of year.

Here's a closer look.


I didn't have many stamps/dies with me that would work for any of these images but I zeroed in on the upper left photo and tried to replicate it. 

 
It all started with smooshing Distress Inks on mixed media paper until I was happy with it.  A leaf from Honey Bee's Fall Foliage was cut from the center,  stacked three high and inlaid.  The panel was stamped with a sentiment from Altenew, trimmed down and attached to some rust paper. 

Which photo captures your attention?  For inspiration please check out the cards from the Design Team and our guest designer Stephanie Lanzalotto.  If you are the winner of the challenge, you could be a future guest.

Bobby, your colors and the leaf took the overall feel from the moodboard and made a gorgeous fall card! I need to try smooshing my little distress ink spots and see if I can do something as pretty as you did!!!
