Autumn Hues

Is the weekend over already? Where does the time go? Thankfully, I found some time to make this card.


I stamped the trees in Versamark and heat embossed them with white powder, and sponged over them and a Post It note sun with the Fall colours, I did the same to some leaves on a strip of white card, but also added some randomly stamped leaves. I embossed some stripes on brown card and laid this by the side of the stamped card with 3D pads on a base. Instead of ribbon, the cards were wrapped with plated raffia of the three colours for a more masculine feel, and the trees and sentiment were added also on 3D pads.

I am entering these challenges :

The Autumn colours come from Color Throwdown 

and the theme of 
FALL at Paper Players,


The Male Room also have a FALL theme

Just Add Ink want a card for DAD                                           


and lastly, Friday Mashup have this sketch, and want to see the

EMBOSSED RESIST technique









Supplies :
Card - Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo, Whisper White, and base FMS
Stamps - Lovely as a Tree, French Foliage, Loving Thoughts, and Fabulous Florets
Inks - Versamark, Black, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, and Crumb Cake
Tools - Big Shot, Framelits Labels, Sizzix Textures, and Heat Gun
Extras - White EP, 3D Pads, Post It, and Raffia in Yellow, Orange, and Magenta.

Buttercup is still with us, although she thinks she is a dog instead of a donkey!? She wont drink from a bucket yet so is still being bottle fed, much to my sister's annoyance as she isn't getting much sleep. I will be going to see her on Tuesday so I'll see how much she's changed over the weekend.

Until next time, thanks for dropping by

  2. I like the boldness of the colours on the leaf panel down the side, Bev; it's a nice complement to the main panel. Plaited raffia is a clever touch! Thanks for joining in the fun at Just Add Ink this week!
