Autumn Colours

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Linda wants up to use Autumn (Fall) colours.


Or play along with our anything goes birthday theme.


Our special guest for the next couple of months is Stephanie.
She and my team mates have some wonderful cards to inspire you so I hope you can play along.

I bought this Sizzix 3D folder ages ago and thought the leaf pattern would look good for autumn colours. I used 3 Ranger mica sprays that are oh so shimmery in real life!
I inked around the edges with some vintage photo and walnut stain distress ink, (could've used a bit more of that I think).
Here's a closer look at the shimmer.

The leaves were diecut from a mop up piece and I shaped and veined them.
The diecut sentiment is double layered for some dimension.

I'm linking up to these challenges:

Allsorts, playing along with the add a diecut option.

My favourite season is autumn, love the colours and the wasrm days with cool nights.




Supplies:
Sizzix 3D foliage embossing folder; Ranger mica sprays - bubbling cauldron, flickering candle and jack o lantern;
Dies: Memory Box marvelous maple leaves;  Creative Expressions stacked happy birthday and Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle.

Thanks for visiting,
