The challenge given to the DT was to use glue along with the fall theme, yep, glue! To see where we were inspired for our ideas on this challenge you can find the technique here on Splitcoast Stampers. Birgit is amazing and each piece is truly a work of art!
      

After playing with glue for way too long, I decided to draw lines on the canvas and play it safe, no imagination here! 

I've  heat embossed with gold ep the quote, "All Those Golden", onto the die cut from the  Solid Owl Die.

I took the canvas and glued it onto a heavy weight paper. I have used the Oak Leaf Outline & Acorn Die set along with the leaf from the Flower Pop dies. 

The glue was used to create the veins in the leaves. Distress Inks and water were used to color the leaves. While the leaves were still wet, I molded and curved them to get dimension. After drying, I pulled the glue off which left the veins in the canvas the natural color. 

The colors in the photo is a little hard on the eyes...thank goodness that the orange is much tamer IRL! I found some small Dogwood twigs and rubbed Inka Gold on them. 

The paper rose was also colored with Distress inks.

Thanks for stopping by!

Looking forward to seeing your fall ideas.
