Hi everyone........well Autumn certainly seems to be here, with leaves turning many colours and falling. I've got to admit, I'm not too keen on the Autumn season, 'cos although I LOVE the colours, I can't help thinking the changing colours only signify DEATH......death of Summer, death of all the gorgeous plants and flowers.....and the migrating birds leave us for warmer climes. Also, my lovely mam passed away on 6th October, so all in all, I just feel sad, sad, sad! (Sorry)
Anyway, now that I've depressed you all, I'll move onto something NICE.....it's Challenge No.9 at
The theme is AUTUMN and the prize is a WHOPPING £40 to spend at Lavinia Stamps.
Here is one of my DT cards....I'll show another tomorrow.
I heat embossed the tree, fairy and the overhanging foliage onto plain brown cardstock from
The rest of the card started off as smooth white, also from
Papermill, of course ;-)
The oak leaf frame is done with a mask from Ali Reeves, using gold embossing powder from
Oak House Studio
I then inked with pigment inks in various colours, also from OHS
I love this little sentiment......all stamps are from Lavinia Stamps....
Hope you like this card.....would love you to leave a comment if you've enjoyed looking.
Catch you all tomorrow,
Barbara

ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning! I love all the heat embossed detailing as it gives the card such a shine, but also some lovely texture. The colours are very aiming and earthy and have a real rustic feel to them.
