Have you noticed a drop in the temperatures? A little dew on the grass in the morning or condensation on the window pane? Those first early signs that summer is starting to fade and along with it the tones in my garden are changing. What was once rich pink burgundy Astrantia is now a muted shadow of its former glory. But you know me, I often struggle with the bright colours of full-on summer and take delight in the shades of autumn. Oh yes, this is my season of colour! This gorgeous Look For The Rainbows stamp set is part of the new Simon Says Stamp card kit. I’ve linked all supplies at the end of this post.

MUTED WATERCOLOUR AUTUMN FLORALS
This card doesn’t take much explaining; I stamped the three large individual flowers, all the leaves and the stems from the Look For The Rainbows stamp set in Antique Linen Distress Ink on Arches cold-pressed watercolour card and watercoloured with Daniel Smith paints.
I added deeper shadows with Faber Castell pencils and highlights with Winsor & Newton Permanent White gouache.
I fussy cut the flowers and leaves out and added them with foam adhesive to a panel of watercolour card splattered with leftover paint and then die cut with a Wonky Rectangle die.
For the sentiment, I stamped a greeting from the Look For The Rainbows set in clear embossing ink on Slate card and white heat embossed before trimming to a banner and adding with foam adhesive over the flower stems.
I foam mounted the panel to a Desert Storm card base and then accented with Enchanting sequins and Nuvo Bottle Green droplets.
