BBTB2 - Design Team - Grape Harvest - Leaves


Welcome to my blog.  This is my first post for the BBTB Design Team.  You can see their fantastic blog by clicking here:  http://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/.   This week the challenge is the fall maple leaf.  I used a slightly different leaf, making a layout of my granddaughter harvesting grapes from the backyard grape arbor.   The 'fencing' is from the Sophisticated cart, the word grape and grapes/leaves from the Preserves cart, and the word harvest from the Freshly Picked cart.  Everything was inked and layered.   Notice the burlap strip beneath the leaves, I thought it made a nice rustic effect.   On the closeup of the leaves, I am trying to show how I take different colored inks to the leaves to make them look like they are changing colors.  I used browns, oranges, yellows, and greens.
