Art Impressions Challenge #360 Fall into Fall

 

Happy Saturday!  I hope everyone gets a few minutes to be crafty this weekend.

I'm joining the current Fall challenge at Art Impressions with a Fall water color scene.  I recently purchased the adorable Art Impressions Elephant on a Bike (discontinued) stamp on a stamp swap website.  He's SO cute and really looks happy for Fall to arrive.

I started by printing the Polkadoodles digital Country Road Scene background onto water color paper.  Water color crayons were applied then water colored for the scene.  It's hard to see in the photo, but the crayons have a slight shimmer which is really fun.

The elephant image was stamped onto the scene and embossed then water colored as well.  A sentiment from Unity Stamps complete the 4.25 square card.

I would like to share my card with the following:
