Color Challenge Orange Yellow and Brown

Hi there. Thanks for stopping by. This weeks color challenge features the autumn colors orange yellow and brown.  I cut the larger leaves and the acorn from watercolor paper, then scored some veins and colored them with bic markers. The pumpkin and the smaller oak leaf were stamped and colored with Prisma colored pencils then cut by hand. I used yellow shimmer paper for the 2 rectangles (scored at 1/8inch around the perimeter.  The other two rectangles are cut from paint samples. Marigold petals and sweet tea, pierced with a roller tool. All mounted on a sand colored card stock. 




I used the sketch from MoJoMonday 208 challenge. So I will be entering that challenge as well. It's great finding inspiration from both colors and sketches.

I wish you happiness, well being and inspiration.
