On the last day of every month, the ladies at my blog group take turns hosting a challenge. It's a chance for all of us at Crafters of Faith to grow a little in our creativity. This month, Kelly gave us a pretty easy challenge!
Anything Goes!
I like that challenge!
This weekend, I was inspired by the changes that autumn brings. We took a meandering drive to see Fallingwater, the home that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for the Kaufman family. The mountain views were amazing, as the trees are just starting to change into their fancy fall colors.
I decided to make my own fancy leaves. I started with watercolor paper, distress stains, and Mister Huey mist.
When it was dry, I used the paper to diecut some leaves.
I paired it with this verse from Ecclesiastes to reflect the changing season. This verse has had a new meaning for me this month. Not only does it reflect the shift from summer to fall, but it speaks to me of the seasons in our lives that come and go. I feel as if I am entering a new season, with a new purpose. The shift has been subtle, but I can feel the change that this new time in life is bringing. It is precious and golden and filled with promise.
Thank you, God, for this changing season!
