Yesterday it rained, and it sure poured. I'm thankful to God for that cuz we really needed it. Although it was hot and humid I had hot coffee (NOT iced coffee) for once in a long time. By evening it was cool enough for me to wear my flip flops, shorts and flannel shirt. Quite the outfit for a native Californian on a summer rainy day, or should I say any rainy day. I guess I might be trying to push it, but I think fall is just around the corner and that excites me! I love boots and sweaters. Cardigans and umbrellas. Pumpkin spice lattes and thanksgiving! Most of all I like making fall crafts. Lately I've been into painting and coloring fall trees onto blank cards. It's quite simple actually.
And that's it! You have this:
- First you paint the trunk in Raw Umber.
- Then you dot the tree (also known as stippling) with yellow, red, brown, and orange. However big you want the tree to be.
- After that you paint the leaves that fell right bellow the tree with the same colors.
- Lastly, to give it a twist you sprinkle gold glitter while the paint is still wet to really make it look like fall.
And that's it! You have this:
Ta dah!
Not the best lighting in this photo, but you get it... :)
Happy Fall!
