Good morning and a very happy Friday. Now I'm not saying that this year is galloping by, but it's October already!!! A few more weeks and I'll be doing my Christmas countdown! We are launching a new challenge today over at Country View Crafts, and it's Autumnal Colours/Halloween. Here's my first piece.
I wanted to spell out Autumn, but my dies are too big to get all the letters on. I could have put 'Fall' but Autumn is Autumn to me, and fall is just something that I do, usually over my own feet!
I thought I was going to make a journal page so I stencilled a background. This is when I realised that my dies wouldn't fit, but I cut out my word anyway.
Then I stamped the letters with a text stamp to add a bit of interest, and then triple embossed them.
Next I cut a skinny card with a die set, and cut my word again from a piece of Craft Consortium card.
I don't know if you remember my journal page from last month, but I cut a LOT of leaves, and loads were left over so as if by magic we have leaves under the leaf.
I hope you like my card, and that you join in with the challenge. Please show us your Autumn colours.
Have a very happy day whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking x
Love your beautiful piece with all the lovely leaves. I found a whole box of painted and die-cut leaves and flowers this week, I made them last year, so I can now use them for this year's autumn! And I have joined in the challenge, too! Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie

Beautiful background and colours, Sue!!! I love it!!! Have a nice October!!! Big hugs xx
ReplyDeleteSue this is a beautiful composition, love how you used both inny & outtie of the lettering, the triple embossing really gives the word leaf some class. You could so easily adapt this for a Christmas card and yes those weeks sure are speeding on by..
ReplyDeleteHappy creative week Sue Hugs Tracey xx
