The theme for our October challenge at
Stamping Sensations is one which I'm sure will be a favourite for many people.What better to showcase at this time of year than the
* * * * * SHADES OF AUTUMN * * * * *
The subject of your entry can be anything you choose as long as the main element of the project is stamped and you have used typical autumn colours, such as greens, yellows, oranges, reds and browns.
Nothing says Autumn to me more than the changing leaves in all their multicolour glory, so that is what I have portrayed on my card.
I stamped various leaves (both solid shapes and outlines) from a set by Stamps By Me, leaving spaces to cut out three more leaves with a die by Concord & 9th. I made a background with Brushos, using autumn colours, and adhered it behind the stamped piece, after which I fixed the diecut leaves back into their cut out spaces so that the Brusho background showed through. I was quite happy with the result but felt that it just needed a little more, so I added the sentiment (Inkylicious) and stamped a few splatters (Concord & 9th) to finish it off.
There's a £25 voucher from our fab sponsors
Stamp Addicts for our lucky October winner, and my lovely teamies have some gorgeous inspiration for you over on the
Challenge Blog.
Whilst autumn is not my favourite season of the year (too close to winter and the cold weather!) I do love the autumn colours, so I'm really looking forward to seeing lots of lovely entries. Good luck everyone!
