Just Us Girls #212 - Photo Inspiration Challenge

Happy Saturday!  Today the challenge at Just Us Girls is a photo inspiration challenge, and Marisa has chosen a photo of the most beautiful fall table scape.  I just love fall colors!

Here's a closeup of the beautiful photo.

I was pretty literal with this photo.  I used the colors and leaves as my inspiration.  While I was searching my bevy of fall stamps, I found this leaf image in an old set from Gina K designs called Autumn Leaves.  I stamped it on watercolor paper and used Distress Markers and a water brush to color it.  I was really hoping for more orange leaves, but the brown seemed to overpower the oranges and yellows I used.  I added some shimmer with a Wink of Stella pen.

I needed a sympathy card for a neighbor's father, and I just adore this sentiment.  It's from a PTI set called With Sympathy.

I used this sketch from Seize the Sketch challenge blog.

I'm also entering this in the Trigger Tuesday challenge.  Obviously inspired by the leaves!
