Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge - Sketch 68

Another week, another challenge from the Atlantic Hearts Design Team. This week's challenge looks like this:

 Keep in mind that a sketch is simply a guide - it can be interpreted in many ways. 

With autumn looming in Ontario (although at times, you wouldn't know it with days above 30 degrees Celsius and high humidity, although we haven't had many of those this summer), Pathfinding was my paper pack of choice for this sketch. Its gorgeous autumn colours fit perfectly for what I had in mind. 


I love the changing of the colours in autumn - it is my favourite season of the year for that very reason. I have added two photos below to show you what this area looks like in the autumn months, especially for the benefit of people who live in areas where the seasons don't change as drastically as they do here. Visitors come from all over the world to see the changing of the leaves in this part of Ontario!

These photos were taken in my yard before I moved last summer... pretty amazing!



Products used are all Close To My Heart:

Paper: Pathfinding Paper Pack, Colonial White Cardstock, Olive Cardstock, Goldrush Cardstock, Barn Red Cardstock
Stamps: Always Grateful
Inks: Olive, Autumn Terracotta, Pigment Inks: Olive, Goldrush, Autumn Terracotta, Barn Red, Cocoa
Accessories: Art Philosophy Cartridge, Bronze Shimmer Trim, Foam Tape, Brown and Tan Sparkles, Flirty Assortment (ret.)

Enjoy, 
Alyson
