There's really no need for a how-to on this one, as you've seen a "naked" version of this card already, so you can see the steps towards it here as Leftovers. And if you want to know how I masked the images, you can find that out here.
So that should leave us with a very quick post today...
The images are stamped in Plum Archival - such a fun colour to play with - and Sepia.
They're stamped on a book page which has had a rough coat of heavy gesso.
Once I'd arranged all the layers and glued them down I got going with some spritzing and spraying.
Not sure I can remember the precise colour combinations any longer, but they were mists and inks from a fantastic Polish shop, 13Arts.
I love how the resist on the canvas (Prima - also leftover from my workshop with Finnabair) comes singing to the foreground once you add colour.
I tell a lie... there is something on this card that isn't on the naked version.
I started by doing some clear embossing on the kraft card background, using the ledger stamp from the Ephemera Backgrounds.
I do love a bit of embossing to catch the light...
Okay, so that's as quick as it gets round here, I guess.
Hope you're all well... I'm still having trouble fitting in much blog visiting - but I will be back! Have fun in the meantime, and I'll see you soon.
I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.

Wonderful layers Alison, and yes that little bit of embossing really adds to the overall effect! Lovely card and thanks for the reminder of that Polish shop.... never to the time to check it out, but now I will!
a new DREAMPIECE dear Alison.. I love those pink and orange
shades - the masterly layering.. it's wonderful soft, autumnal and ARTSY ARTSY ARTSY!
What gorgeous colours for this time of year Alison and I love how the clear embossing keeps that hint of Kraft in the background. I recognised those strips of resist canvas straight away .......saved mine teeny bits too, lol! Lovely layered masterpiece!

I'm so glad you explained what the Autumn harvest was stamped on, otherwise I was going to guess a corn husk; which is what it still what it looks like to me. :D I think the depiction of Fall is very fitting here. I do like rust colors more, but the pinks bring in a hue of crispness to the weather; which after being 90 yesterday and 50 today...I can relate.
Love your ending comment by L.M. Montgomery...ME TOO!! :D
hugs,
Lisa x
Best of luck to you on the moving too and thank you so much for the shared sympathy. I'd rather be crafting, but soon enough! :D
That berry colour is absolutely delicious and works beautifully with sepia.
Gorgeous warmth to this card.

Gorgeous card, Alison. Love the plum colors. I don't see those all that often and they are beautifully done here. Love all of the layers of papers and the stitching.
