More Watercolor Fun with Gather Together
Sometimes I think I could spend days playing with watercolor and my Gather Together stamp set. Not only are the leaves fun to color, but the pumpkins are, too! Especially if you go beyond orange and venture into other gourd colors.
The pumpkins on this card are all orange, though. Colored with Pumpkin Pie, naturally. Ah, but the leaves. I’ve had so much fun playing with different ink colors and my trusty aqua painter. These leaves started with a little Crushed Curry and Old Olive, then a tiny bit of Pumpkin Pie, but I wanted them to be more red and I tried Merry Merlot.

Watercolor Fun for Brilliant Autumn Leaves
Recently I shared a card using the big leaf from the Gather Together stamp set that I had colored with watercolor pencils. (see it here) However, my favorite way to color autumn leaves is with watercolor.
One reason is the colors blend and wash together, just as the colors do on real leaves as they change. Also because its just fun to play with watercolor.
