Watercolour Wash Autumn ATCs By Trish Bayley

Ive been creating some more ATCs for a Leaf themed ATC swap - Im in leaf heaven!

For these ATCs I created a leafy colour watercolour background first using lyra watercolour crayons and water. I literally scribbled blocks of colour onto the card stock then ran over the top of the crayon colour with a wet brush; see below for an example:


Then when I was happy with how the backgrounds looked I stamped on the backgrounds with various colours of memories inks and added brads to finish.

I love these watercolour backgrounds because they compliment the leaves so well, to achieve the backgrounds in the cards I used yellow, orange, 2 shades of green and red.

The finished atcs can be seen below:
