Saturday morning can mean only one thing, a new challenge at Allsorts and this week the lovely Helene would like to see 'Autumn Colours', a theme I absolutely love as I could work with the gorgeous rich colours of autumn all year round.
It gave me the perfect opportunity for some inky indulgence, first of all I stamped and embossed with detail clear a selection of Hero Arts leaves, this set is two or three years old but timeless. Next I went over the whole piece with distress inks and embossed round the edges with Frantage aged spice and aged gold. The acorns are Tim Holts alterations and the leaves come on the same die.
I hope you can all join in this week and look forward to seeing your entries, have a good weekend everyone and thanks for popping in.
I absolutely love your embossing! Have a lovely day, here we have the first morning of frost so you're probably better off =)

Wonderful colours Brenda - a beautiful interpretation of Autumn. Then we get to 'bare' trees, which I love even more than leafy trees.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

Splendid with the way those green leaves set off the rich autumnal colours. White is such a lovely way of accenting autumn too & I always love leaves. A weakness of mine. The sentiment reminds me of Ecclesiastes - one of my favourites that often pops up into my head & is so true.
