Morning all, we have a new challenge starting today at We Love Stamping and our very seasonal theme is Shades of Autumn, no guessing who selected that one! We have two prizes of stamps and stencil from Sweet Poppy.
Above a (rather busy) Autumnal scene using stamps from the new (at least new until later this month!) Lavinia Midnight Coven release along with a few older stamps including Acorn Abode with the little Mouse sitting on it. Brayerd background, all stamped with Versafine Clair plus a bit of shading using DI's. The theme at Crafty Calendar is Autumn/Halloween, also Lost Coast, Two Old Bats and Crafty Animals.
There had to be an Autumn wreath, created on the spin tool stamped onto an inky background, all elements in the wreath are Lavinia inked with inks and ecoline pens, the sentiment from a set sent by a crafty friend and have to confess I don't have the package any more so not sure of the make. Entering this one at the Autumn themes at Colourful Options, Colour Hues, Try it on Tuesday and another for Sweet Stampin'.
With all thew family activity I'm a couple of days late with my share for the Card Chain Challenge, above what I sent to Linda in Minnesota following the colour options along with stencil (this one was very kindly sent to me by a CCC friend who knows how much I love Poppies) and tone on tone ink blending. I received a card with an adorable Hedgie from Alice in Austria.
Such a striking and wonderfully autumnal scene on your first card, and I love the wreath on your second card. Autumn is a fabulous season. xxx
ReplyDeleteThe CCC card is beautiful too. Great stencilling xxx
Loving the spooky feel of the first card and the two leafy/floral ones are beautiful as well
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful cards Brenda - your autumnal wreath is so striking, and I do love the sentiment there. The Card Chain card is sooo pretty with the tone on tone stenciling, and again a beautiful sentiment

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun seasonal creation! I love the wonderful mix of autumn charm and spooky elements, and the rich fall colors bring everything together beautifully. The details add so much character to the design, and the overall composition captures that perfect balance between festive Halloween fun and the beauty of the autumn season.
