The Colors of Autumn

 It is time once again for a new challenge at Try It on Tuesday. This time we're asking you to show us the Colors of Autumn.


I went with a  traditional autumn theme for my challenge page.  I used some spray inks, and once they dried, I used some Tim Holtz leaf stamps as part of the background. I also used black ink and stamped both the quote as well as the black designed leaf from Paper Artsy. I thought the black gave some nice contrast with the autumn colors. To give my page a little more autumn color, I then added some painted wooden leaves.

For the next 2 weeks this challenge is open to any kind of art, as long as you use the colors of autumn. 

Be sure to check out all the beautiful art from our designers at Try It On Tuesday.

Since the wooden leaves create some texture on my page, I am also linking up to Jo's TEXTURE challenge at Art Journal Journey.

Thanks so much for visiting.

  2. Hello Erika.
    That is a nice touch with the wooden leaves.
    The quote says it well, Autumm is particularly beautiful with its colours and the crisp clear blue sky days. You've captured the colours so well here.

  4. It’s lovely, and the colors mean a great deal this time of year. I like the yellow-ish pathway throughout pulling it all together. Be careful of the security of challenges. I had to stop entering due to a settings breach.
