Colours of autumn

It's time for our October challenge over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

and the optional theme this month is

colours of Autumn.

As always we have an amazing prize up for grabs!

For my card I  stamped some text on the base of my card in pumpkin pie ink.

I then cut myself a broad border using pumpkin pie card.

I stamped, die cut and coloured my leaves and arranged them across the border.

I stamped, cut and coloured the hedgehog and pumpkins and

added them to my leaves.

I then stamped the sentiment over the text and finished with

some matching gems.

We had a great time at the Wedding yesterday but unfortunately

it rained non stop from 11am to 7pm.

Thankfully it did not dampen the day at all as everything

from the ceremony to the festivities were all catered for in the one

area and the place provided umbrellas when walking from

one area to another.

Have a great week everyone!

All things Autumn

This is my midway design team post for

STAMPING SENSATIONS

theme of All Things Autumn

and of course there are two lovely prizes up for grabs!

So for my card  I have used a white base card,

matted with papers called Delightful Daisy (SU),

to which I wrapped some Terracotta tile ribbon to before sticking down.

I then cut out an oval, stamped some foliage to the left using

Stylish Sketches stamp set from SU.

I coloured them up using my blends then stamped

the same images twice on separate white card and coloured

and cut them out. They were added to the left of my oval

using dimensionals. I stamped a sentiment in pumpkin pie ink (SU)

from a stamp set called Dragonfly Garden (SU).

I glued the oval to my base card and finished with a tiny

linen bow.

All things Autumn!

Our October challenge at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

has a theme of All Things Autumn!

We have two lovely prizes up for grabs this month!

We also have two lovely new team members

so be sure and check out Carol and Dora!!

For my card I started with a tan base card and I stamped

the corns using soft suede ink (SU).

I found a strip of the tartan paper in my scraps and laid

it across the centre of my stamped area.

Next I stamped and water coloured two large leaves using

bumblebee and pumpkin pie ink pads, colouring them in

by dipping my old wink of stella brush in some ink and water.

The pumpkin was done the same way, all cut out and matted

on to my tartan paper.

The sentiment is from the same set as the leaves and is called

Gather Together (SU).

I punched the sentiment and mat out in the tan card

using the oval punch (SU),

and finished with a little bow in twine.

I hope you get time to join us.

Let's light up blogland with some gorgeous Autumnal colours!!

Recycling at Tag Tuesday

It's the second week of our recycling challenge over at

Tag Tuesday.

Have you joined us yet???

I saved this box from our rubbish.

It held a load of plum tomatoes and now it's living

the good life as an autumnal tag!

So I cut the bottom into my tag base.

I then stamped my crackle paint stamp in early expresso ink.

I used my brushes to ink round the edges and then punched a hole

for the ribbon (cinnamon cider).

Next I stamped the sentiment in pumpkin pie ink using

Statement of the Heart stamp and cut it out using

stitched rectangle dies.

I inked around the edges using early expresso ink.

Next I cut some leaves out (gathered leaves dies)

in old olive, mango melody and pumpkin pie card stock.

I inked the edges of each and displayed as you see on the tag

using dimensionals.

I'm pretty pleased with the natural look it has and the tomato

box was made of really sturdy cardboard.
