Autumn Haze...


Two challenges this week have the theme of Autumn. At http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/ the theme is anything you relate to autumn and Cynthia at http://rainbowladyschallengeblog.blogspot.com/ would like us to work on autumnal leaves.
She also added a tiny twist to the theme by insisting that everyone used at least one stamp. I used a huge stamp by Stamps Happen which almost fills a DL card! Beautiful stamp though and very easy to work with even though it is so large.

My card is for a friend (who I don't think checks my blog) who is going through a very sad time and I just wanted to send her my love.

Materials used:
  • Cream based card covered with black pearlescent paper.
  • brown slightly sparkly card
  • watercolour card
  • Inktense Pencil crayons
  • Sakura Stardust clear pen - for leave veins - not viewable in photo but in real life gives a touch of frost.
  • gold sentiment peel off
  • Autumn leaves stamp by Stamps Happen Inc

Thanks for visitng me and leaving me a lovely comment. It is nice to know that people store up some of my ideas for a future project. If you blow the photo up you can see the beads quite clearly.
This stamp you have used is fantastic and you have coloured the leaves beautifully.
Love,
