The theme for the latest Allsorts Challenge is **Autumn Colours** or, as always **Anything Goes** so as it seems to be perfect crafting weather today (AKA damp and dreary) I set about making a card using some of my Lavinia stamp collection. It so happens that the prizes this time are also Lavinia stamps which is great. I started by smooshing various yellow and orange Distress inks onto some watercolour paper (300 gsm) and once dry I cut out a circle and set about building a colourful scene in various browns - decided against using any black this time. Once I'd decided that 'enough is enough' I then stencilled a diagonal sweep across the base card and simply glued the circle in place. No sentiment just in case the recipient decides to frame this card, in which case a sentiment would be superfluous 😉. Very therapeutic working with these beautiful stamps in such lovely warm colours.
Stamps - all Lavinia designs
Stencil - also a Lavinia design
Inks - Distress Mustard Seed, Scattered Straw, Marigold and Spiced Marmalade

ReplyDeleteJust a lovely scene Val, beautifully framed xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done Val and very productive use of your time on a miserable day. Was actually reasonable here yesterday, but today another matter.
ReplyDeleteI find browns much softer on the eye and use a lot as an alternative to black. Many thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge.

Beautiful scene Val, the colour combo of the gorgeous golds with browns makes for a really warm but definitely autumnal feel, and great use of your Lavinia stamps and stencil xx
