Time Out #297 - Inspired By

It's time for another Inspired By challenge at Time Out.

My favorite season is Fall/Autumn and I bet you can guess why. 


Yes, it's all the beautiful colors in the leaves - before they fall and you have to rake them, that is. 😁 I played with Distress Oxides in Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Cracking Campfire, Candied Apple, Rusty Hinge Rustic Wilderness and Aged Mahogany on a panel of mixed media paper until I was happy with how it looked and then cut it with Honey Bee Trees.   I used Broken China and Lucky Clover for the background.  The sentiment is from HB's Sweater Weather on a leftover piece of the inked panel.

So what is your favorite season and how are you going to show us on a card?  There is plenty of inspiration from the Design Team so check them out and enter a card in our gallery.  Our sponsor is Waffle Flower and they are offering a $25 store credit to the winner of the challenge.

Oh, it's the raking and jumping into the piles of leaves that I love, Bobby - okay, maybe those days are gone but I do love the memories!
Your trees are so beautiful!

Bobby, This looks like fall in Colorado with the bluest of skies and the changing colors in the trees! Great idea for your favorite season card!

Bonnie said...

What a beautiful fall forest view, Bobby! While we don't usually have a lot of bright colors, I still love the change in the leaves. Now that someone else does our yard, I don't mind the leaves falling! ;-)

Gorgeous rich colours on your Autumn trees Bobby! They are beautiful! We don't have many Autumn trees here in Brisbane but it's always lovely to see them if I go somewhere that does. I hope you've had a lovely day! :)

Gorgeous autumnal scene Bobby, loving the colours and texture of those trees! Nothing compares to the colours of Autumn trees against a blue sky - never fails to make my heart skip a beat! Hugs, Kate!

Your trees are gorgeous. The green-ness of the leaves here in NJ is starting to fade. I can't wait to see our trees looking like there. Wonderful card for the most wonderful season!
