Brayering into Autumn



When you check out the new Stamp Addicts stamp sheets here which will be featured on the new Create and Craft TV programme at 10am and 1pm on Friday 28th October, it will come as no surprise that I have totally enjoyed playing with them.

These two cards have been made using the Trees and On the Water sets, plus I have used a few elements such as the sheep from the Scenery sets feature earlier in the year but still available to buy on Stamp Addicts web site.


For both cards I used the good old Speedball Brayer and Adirondack dye inks onto glossy cardstock and the fence is just drawn in with a fine nib permanent pen. The poem on the top card was sourced on the Internet and is the first verse of 'Autumn' by Elizabeth Barrett Browning which sums up the season beautifully.

    Lovely cards and that verse is just perfect. I particularly like those trees ... you can see trees like that growing in fields around where I live and right now the colours are just gorgeous. Elizabeth x

    Really wish you'd do a video! I'd love to see how you manage to get such nice soft edges and colors. You're hand drawn fence is perfect!
