I instantly fell in love with Abs Crunched Leafdrop (1109) and matching dies Leafinately Detailed (25) when released last year. I stamped the leaves onto a piece of cardstock inked in Autumnal colours, cut out with the dies and arranged onto a acetate panel. Inside an Autumnal scene from MCS and of course my favourite squirrel.
For SS I've used Stamp Addicts Hot Air Balloons and Scenic Sailing, stamped the mountain range and added some Pan Pastels for colour, a big sun a few worker stamps, then the balloons which I stamped, cut out, coloured and raised using Pinflair.
Still plenty of time to join in, the challenges run until 30th October and as always you can join in three times.
LOVE the crunched leaf drop card. Would be very tempted to buy if I didn’t already have Tim’s Leaf Fragments!!!!

Gorgeous autumnal cards, love the leaves - more soggy leaves here than crunchy:-)
ReplyDelete2 fabulous cards Brenda … love the coloured balloons on the second card but my favourite is the leaf card … I love those stamps and dies! A week or so ago I was on the of and suddenly somehow clicked on the A&C site … and saw those stamps and dies half price! I got all excited and thought as soon as I’d finished what I was doing I’d investigate further. Sadly one hour later both were showing as full price with one sold out … I think it must have been a mistake on the website which was quickly spotted and rectified 🥲
ReplyDeleteThe colours on both these cards are just wonderful. I particularly love those leaves xx
ReplyDelete2 very beautiful cards and great colours Brenda..........gr karin
ReplyDeleteThe autumnal theme brings such warmth and creativity! Using Abs Crunched Leaf drop stamps and matching dies on the acetate panel with an Autumnal scene inside creates a stunning visual. The combination of Hot Air Balloons and Scenic Sailing stamps with Pan Pastels adds a beautiful touch to the seasonal theme.
ReplyDeleteBoth are stunning cards Brenda, I love how you put such beautiful images together, super autumnal colours too. Hope you are recovering well? x
ReplyDeleteI loved these leaf stamps when you used them the other day but sadly cannot find them anywhere. It's a beautiful homage to autumn. Your balloon scene is also amazing.
