Thank you for joining us for the Treat Bag/Box Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.
This week the challenge is
Autumn
Autumn is such a beautiful time of year, the changing colors on the trees are fabulous, the air is cool and the crunch of leaves underfoot brings back lovely memories from childhood. We will be looking forward to seeing whatever autumn inspired creations you make!
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
I made a card using a new Simon Says Stamp 'Winter Flowers' Stamp Set and a Woodgrain Background Stamp designed by Tammy Tutterow for Spellbinders.
Even though I do say so myself, I quite like this one ;-)
The flower is pretty generic and can be used for everything, in any color! I decided to make it in an Autumn pale orange/yellow using Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink, For the leaves I used Forest Moss.
For the background and the base card I stamped the Woodgrain Background Stamp with Pumice Stone Distress Ink and then continued with the same ink to make the background a little darker. I then used a Dot fade Stencil and embossing paste to create some texture and while the paste was still wet I sprinkled with Vintage Platinum Distress Dust, oh my goodness, it brought the whole card to life! so sparkly and pretty!
I finished the inside too ;-)
So now it's YOUR turn to get your autumn colours out and get crafty!
You have until Monday 8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in
