Morning all, time for our new challenges at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations. At WLS our theme is 'Anything Autumn, chosen by me and at SS.....you guessed it the same again!! Prizes come from Lavinia Stamps at WLS and at SS a super £25 store voucher from Personal Impressions.
As I mentioned the other day I love creating for Autumn so in my element and have two for both challenges. Above a lolly stick plaque, spritzed with oxide sprays, a beautiful but very old Hero Arts Wheat stamp embossed with copper EP, lots of leaves across the top using Tim Holtz Sketchy Leaves and along the bottom Tiny Toadstools, the randomly stamped script is from the same set. Creative Artist's challenge is all about Mixed Media so would like to enter this there.
The starting point for the above card was a large maple leaf inked with Autumnal colours, spritzed with water and used as a stamp to create the background. I then stamped the scene with Lavinia Pipin, Wild Hares, Small Pine Trees and Every Dream and brushed in a few hills to ground everything. The theme at Crafty Catz is Autumn colours and at Inkspirational there is a mood board, the moon and woodland feel stood out for me.
Here we have Gus the Owl perched on Vine Branch, an inky background, Moon and stencil to created the spots then more stamping with Leaf Spray, Seed Heads and Oak Leaf Branch to build the scene. At Craft Rocket the theme is Autumn/Halloween, at Outlawz Festive Friday there's a seasonal choice, I've gone with Autumn and at Colour Dare 671 they have a colour palette of orange and yellow shades so entering my Owl at these.
Mr Rabbit had to make an appearance again, this time in Autumnal fashion, the tartan is a stamp within the set and the leaves around the edge are from the same set used on the lolly stick plaque above. At Festive Friday it's select at least three from their list, I've gone with checks, white, encouraging sentiment.

Absolutely gorgeous autumn theme card creations Brenda loving your cute Mr Rabbit in his tartan always a favourite of mine all are just stunning x
I love these gorgeous cards Brenda, I don't think I could chose just one if asked too. However, Mr Rabbit does have a funny effect on me, haha, he is so cool. xx
Wonderful autumnal display of work. I love the watercolour leaf effect - it's stunning. Gus is one of my fave stamps and he looks lovely in the autumnal colours.
These are all really lovely Brenda. I have a thing for owls (even if one woke me up this morning hooting outside my window-grin) and I really like the leaf with the images you added to it. Your hanging looks great on the wood too. I like how you added the leaves to the top. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend. And thanks for visiting my blog. hugs-Erika
I just love all your rich autumn creations Brenda. Clever idea with the leaf used as a stamp 😃xxx
Stunning card! Thank you for joining us at Color Dare.
Fantastic autumn creations Brenda, all of them beautiful. Can't quite decide which of the 2 Lavinia cards is my favourite, I love that you used a real leaf to stamp with, makes a wonderful background for the magical scene. The owl card is stunning, love the mellow golden tones.

3 fabulous cards and I love those leaves on your lolly stick project.
Wow Brenda I love them all - your lolly stick creation is inspired - definitely going to be trying that technique. Thanks for sharing it with us at Creative Artiste Mixed Media
Brenda, I was drawn in by your creation at INkspirational (thank you for joining us!!) and was blown away by how you created it *GASP*. Surely everyone has a leaf they can ink up!!! Then your other gorgeous work blew me away too. Such fabulous autumn inspiration here~
Autumn has been given the most beautiful display on your blog post Brenda! I absolutely love them all. I actually thought you have used a leaf stencil and was going to ask where it was from lol. Now I need a nice big leaf to try this technique which is just gorgeous!!
Sooo wonderful, Brenda! And I love the owl... ❤️❤️❤️
Hugs,
Conny

I'm an autumn fan too, Brenda, so I'm loving all these beauties. I particularly love the lollystick plaque - what a genius idea!!! I hope you have recovered from the Crohn's flare-up and enjoyed your anniversary celebration.
Take care,

Ooh yes, you are definitely an autumn girl. These are fabulous! Love all the rich, autumn colours and the pretty details. Those rabbits on the maple leaf are just beautiful.
Gorgeous cards!! Love the autumn feel to them! Thanks for sharing at Color. Dare!
Your makes are all simply beautiful. I really love how the big maple leaf turned out. And Mr. Rabbit is very debonaire in his outfit. Thank you for sharing at Color Dare.
Your love for autumn absolutely shines through each piece—what a rich, enchanting collection. The lolly stick plaque is such a clever twist, and the copper embossing adds a gorgeous warmth. I’m especially drawn to the maple leaf background with its dreamy Lavinia scene—it feels like stepping into a storybook forest. Gus perched in the golden glow is pure magic, and Mr Rabbit in tartan brings such charm and personality. Every detail feels intentional and full of seasonal spirit.
So many beautiful projects! Love the Lavinia one; that looks great in the leaf! And the owl is beautiful in monochrome colors! Love all the warm autumn colors! Hugs, Gerrina
I love Autumn, too. Your makes are wonderful, as always! I'm especially drawn to the maple leaf stamped with silhouettes--love it! Do you mean you used a real maple leaf? It looks so great!
