What's Up?

I created this card for this month's Mixed Media Card Challenge. The challenge is autumn colors with the option of metal or leaves.
I began this card by creating a watercolored background with distress stains. Next I wanted to create a metal focal image. I drew the silhouette of a goose on the back of a white Add a Little Dazzle metal sheet and cut it out. A Sharpie black marker was used to draw in some definition to the goose and the eye was created with Ranger’s glossy enamel. Texture was added to the goose by dry embossing on back side with metal stylist tools and a dense foam mat. I used backing paste to fill in the back of the goose so it’s dimension will be maintained when the card is mailed.
Once the goose was positioned on the card I added the falling leaves and the stack on the ground. The leaves are punched from paper I colored with alcohol inks and stamped on some small images. I also punched some watercolor scraps from my scrap basket to add some additional colors to the mix. I randomly bent each leaf to give the look of falling leaves.
The sentiment was stamped and hand drawn lines and distress ink added.
