Autumnal Festival/Autumnal Fall

Hi, welcomee to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday. Dawn has chosen a theme which suits us all at this time of the year, #261 Autumn Festival/Autumn Fall. To see the remainder of the team's inspiration, please visit the blog. 

I made a small card, approx. 4.5in.sq. The stamps I used are by Dare 2B Artzy -Tangle Leaves. I began by using black ink to stamp directly onto the white card, which was to be the base for the leaves. I then stamped the leaves and acorns, with black ink, Versafine Black, onto a prepared sheet of blended Distress inks created using autumnal colours. Additional colouring added with Promarkers.  I then fussy cut around the leaves ignoring the stems etc.  I patted all stamped areas with Versafine and clear embossing poweder, to heat emboss. The leaves were added with foam pads over the original stamped leeaves on the card. Finally the sentiment was added. Happy Autumnal wishes to you all.

L is for Love Letter and hearts.

 Hello, here I am again, it's been a busy week. Welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Alphabet Challenges - Veronika has chosen L is for Love Letter with hearts. To see the desinnngn team's inspitation, please visit the blog. 

I began with a 6" sq. white card. From a Hunkydory Blossoming Birds paper pad, I die cut the centre of a page showing script. I added this to a piece of gold Mirri card. I then cut the remainder of the paper to enable it to be added to Mirri card onto the main card, also allowing the centre square panel to be added as if decoupaged, by matching up the upper square with the main card square paper. Finally added a With Love sentiment.

  (I hope this makes sense.) Smiles.
