Maria is our Hostess for our WORD week at
and she has chosen Autumn.
I had already made a card for this challenge
(See Below)
but decided to play around with the
colours of Autumn so I got out my Gelatos
and had a play.
I tried various colours and placements
before deciding on the one above.
I wet my Gina K stamp - Fall Foliage
then smeared various colours onto it before
stamping on my white card stock.
The sentiment is from Repeat Impressions
Beautiful Days Stamp Set.
Added some sequins and a rhinestone to match
my leaf colours. Also inked around the edge
and spritzing various colours to the top.
I have this lovely Tree Stamp so I decided to
feature that with a touch of Autumn Coloured Inking.
feature that with a touch of Autumn Coloured Inking.
Using basic black and white card stock
and gold paper as a backing.
I simply cut out an oval from Spellbinders to mask.
Inked with Tim Holtz Aged Mahogany/Dried Marigold
Stampin' Up Yo Yo Yellow
The tree is Spring Tree - 1610W from
Repeat Impressions
and heat embossed in black
Sponged the masked colours with Stampin' Up Champagne Mist
Sentiment is a simple one from Gina K Designs
Added some coloured cottons
button and rounded one corner to finish.
