Autumn's colors

 

I had planned to show the rest of my herbs for Friday, but I have been bringing them inside all day so they won't freeze overnight.  I'm both literally and figuratively worn out.

Instead, today I'm joining my friend Mia of Craftartista.  Mia has chosen Beautiful World as her theme for October at Art Journal Journey.  Below is my next interpretation of her theme. 

It's obvious I named this Autumn's colors.  Details are below.
 


I began by adding various spray and shimmering mists to the 8.5 X 11 inch (21.59 X 27.94 cm) 110 lb cardstock.  I used colors that reflected autumn.  I included yellow, orange, pink, red, turquoise, and green.  I added the computer generated text I outlined in red and orange Posca pens.  Finally, I added the TH paper doll.
 
Thanks for visiting today.  Also, please join us at

Hi Elizabeth! It’s chilly here too! We have a frost warning tonight, too, so I’m off to pick the last of my green tomatoes today.
I absolutely adore your lovely art journal page. You’ve beautifully captured the colors of autumn. And I love your title and the little TH boy too!
Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs, Sharon

To your happy colors, Elizabeth (and the cute boy) - believe it or not. When I look outside... green. A biiiiit yellow.
