I have a card today made using the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge, which has a great sketch this week.
Here's the sketch:
And here's my take:
I am loving all the autumn colours everywhere, the trees are such a lovely colour this time of year, it's my favourite season.
So leading on from that, I wanted to make a card using these beautiful colours, and with the WMSC I just thought of some autumnal trees blowing in the wind.
Not having the newly released Teeny Trees set from Waltzingmouse yet (need to save some pennies for some more goodies!), I have used a set from Kanban that I've had for months but not actually used yet!
The three trees are three separate stamps, one of them has flowers etched into the rubber, but it hasn't shown up - maybe it was the ink I used. I used a Kaleidoscope ink pad in Cappuccino Delight to stamp them.
The sentiment is from the same set, stamped with Distress ink Spiced Marmalade - love this colour! Used a square punch to cut it out, then a corner chomper to liven up the corners.
The papers are from a stack called Milton and Co by Wild Rose Studio, and I've layered these up onto some terracotta and brown bazill.
I've distressed around the edges and the trees with Antique Linen and Walnut Stain.
Under the trees I've used some 2mm rolled ribbon and some pretty lace, topped off with some pearls and gems.
I'm entering into a few challenges with this card:
