Make My Monday Challenge
We are onto a new month of challenges at Make My Monday and this time the theme is AUTUMN and the first thing they want us to do is 'use our supplies' - KRAFT AND STRING. I've used some Tim Holtz Kraft resist card, sponged with Distress ink as a background. A Sizzix (SU) topnote die cut has been partially embossed in a cuttlebug embossing folder using one of the wonderful Sizzix embossing diffusers to leave an oval shape un-embossed so that I could stamp the branch. Another small tag shape was cut using a Sizzix die and onto this I've added a posy of Sizzix tattered leaves and branches cut from distress-inked watercolour paper with a hand cut swirly pine cone (sort of) and some stamped acorns. I'm afraid I was in such a hurry to take a photo of the card before the
light disappeared that I haven't left time for the glue to dry on the
pinecone but now it has dried of course there is no white streak in the middle!! The leafy branch and acorns are stamps from Stampin' Up Touch of Nature set. Some string tied around and a greeting and there it is.

What gorgeous autumnal colours Val, and a lovely embossed and stamped plaque.

A really gorgeously autumnal creation. I love the way you stamped that branch midst the textured embossed area. Your cluster of leaves with the pine cone is beautifully effective too. The string/twine adds a lovely bit of contrast too picking out the white areas.

This is beautiful Val. Love the branch panel (will have to investigate the clever sounding embossing folder) and the inking and leaves are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this with us at Make My Monday.

ReplyDeleteLovely card Val. Colours are gorgeous and if you hadn't mentioned about taking the photo before the glue had dried on the pine cone I wouldn't have realised it wasn't the light reflecting on it!
