Make My Monday week 18

A new month of challenges on Make My Monday and this time the theme is autumn with an added twist this first week to use a resist technique.  I've used a piece of Tim Holtz kraft resist paper for the background and sponged with two colours of distress ink to show up the resist effect on the swirls. The text  and the little acorns are from a stamp set by Stampin Up. The large leaves were cut using a Spellbinders leaf die, sponged with the same distress inks for the autumnal colour - fired brick and spiced marmalade with a touch of butterscotch.

    I've never tried the TH Kraft resist papers so shall keep an eye out for those. Love your colours on this & that is a very striking embellishment with those inked leaves.

    This is lovely Val and using my favourite colours too. The Kraft resist paper looks gorgeous and I'm feeling very guilty because I've had mine since Spring and not used a scrap of it yet, lol!
