DYSU # 92 - Warm Colours


 Hi all, it's a brand new challenge over at DYSU today, and this week, we would like to see you using Warm Colours on your creations! With the definite onset of Autumn here (the trees are turning such beautiful colours!) it's a great time to get inspired by nature, or your favourite wooly scarf!

I have made a card for my brother-in-law, for my children to give to him. I have used a couple of Papertrey Ink stamp sets, Havest berries and Tiny Tags.

 

 

I stamped the ginkyo leaves in Dried Marigold distress ink, Memento Potter's Clay and Fired Brick distress inks, then added some shading with a paintbrush using Frayed Burlap Distress ink.

I then embossed a panel of Naturals card, using a woodgrain folder,  onto which I had rubbed a Versamark pad. After running through my cuttlebug, I sprinkled some Stampendous Aged Gold embossing powder to create this aged wood effect within the dry embossed area. It's so effective, and I will be using this technique again!

 

I then adhered the leaves to a smaller panel of card, distressed around the edges with Sahara Sand ink.

I then added a red stripy bow (from The Ribbon Reel) and added a tiny tag. I finished off with some red pearls.
