Colours of Autumn


Morning Peeps, we're celebrating the Colours of Autumn at Allsorts this week and the usual Anything Goes option. Prizes for the next two weeks are Lavinia stamps.

I've was lucky to have an early play with the new release, I'll admit I don't usually do Halloween but these Witches in the new Dream Witch Collection are so stylish along with the other worker stamps that I really had fun working with them. Above incorporates Tree of SpiritsHattie, Bubbling Cauldron, Flittermice, Magical Mist and Hocus Pocus plus Tree Root. I would like to enter this into the current Autumn Hues challenge at Lavinia.


For this one I started with circle dies and drew round the top with a glue pen to create a halo effect then applied Gilding Tilsen with a soft brush, then a clean brush and soft tissue to remove the excess and a rubber will remove stubborn bits which may have glue on them. Next a bit of very light inking to create a circle, followed by stamping using Oak LeavesWoodland Fern and Oak Creeper dangling from the bottom, stamped the Gate and Fence into the circle two Fairy FaragersFairy Towns signpost and finally Forest so Green sentiment......I know there's not too much green on display but there was until Autumn started to set in!! I'm popping across to the Path of Positivity with this one.

You've made two beautiful cards using some of the latest Lavinia release stamps - both spectacular. I don't usually 'do' Halloween either but reckon I could be tempted 😉. Great use of the autumnal colour palette

2 stunning autumnal cards Brenda. Love how you have used the new Hallowe’en stamps … the witch you used is my favourite but I managed to resist as I don’t do Halloween either so didn’t feel I could justify the expense when there are so many other goodies out there!! I also love the gilding effect on your second card .. that would really work for the Lavinia challenge too! xx Stunning Lavinia prizes on offer at Allsorts this week!! xx

A not at all scary Halloween card,the soft autumnal colours and stamped images in both cards create beautiful scenes.

Lisa said...

The first card is a really beautiful scene and the colors are really perfect for it too. I love the great sentiment in the second lovely card.

What a beautiful and magical design! Wonderful shine on the circles and the fall leaf/acorn wreath is the perfect setting for these lovely little fairies! Thanks for sharing with us at Path of Positivity. Katrina

You've worked your magic with these fun stamps and I absolutely love the first with the witch, bats, cats, cauldron and fabulous background. The 2nd is fun with all the signs, fairy and leaves and I just love all the autumn colors. Have a great wekend!

Such beautiful scenes.

HilaryJane said...

Two truly beautiful cards. Thanks for explaining how you made those shine circles. Love it xx

Ellibelle said...

Both are absolutely beautiful and a great way to showcase these fabulous stamps. Such a great idea how you added some golden shimmer to make the wreath on the second card. But my favorite is the first. Like you, I don't really make Halloween cards (or very rarely!!) but somehow really like these new witches and of course those cats!!

Sarn said...

I love the witch! She's very stylish!

Marianne said...

Two lovely cards, Brenda. I don't make Halloween cards either, but I can see why these stamps were calling you. I love that witch.
And I love how you've created your autumn wreath for your second card with the circles at the top.
