Chill in the Air

Into October now, and there's definitely an autumnal feel. We've had a few frosty mornings this week and the leaves are beginning to turn. I really do not look forward to the winter, but the wonderful autumn colours are some compensation. And it is in that vein that we introduce our October challenge at Stamping Sensations with the theme of

* * * * * TREES and/or LEAVES and/or AUTUMN * * * * *

We want you to show us the beauty of autumn in all its glorious colours. As usual, to be eligible for our October prize, kindly donated by our lovely sponsors Stamp Addicts, the main element of your project should be stamped and follow the theme.


I needed a lightweight card to post, so decided to make it one layer. I masked the edges of the base card before sponging pigment inks through the stencil and around the edges of the masked area, thus creating a white border to the card, before overstamping with the trees, buzzard and sentiment. Very quick and easy to do! All the stamps and the stencil are by Inkylicious.

We are hoping for lots of autumn colour this month, and I can't wait to see the entries! There is some wonderful inspiration from the Design Team over on the Challenge Blog, so do go and take a look. Good luck everyone!

    Very effective inking and stamping Lynn and in lovely colours. We've been down to 3deg this week but no frost as yet, but feels like it's getting close.

    There is definitely a chill in the air Lynne, although the sun is shining here at the moment. Your card is fabulous and I love your use of the leaf stencil in the background (I need to keep an eye out for that one!) A superb layout with great stamping and fabulous colour. It's a perfect autumnal card x

    A beautiful card Lynne. A wonderful effect of the tree stamped over the big leaf. Looks great and I like the idea of masking the edge so it looks like a layered card. Marlies

    What a dramatic card Lynne - love the stencilled leaf, and the silhouette trees are a wonderful contrast
