Autumn Feels

 Hello there,

I'm sharing a few autumnal cards today, my favourite to make as the colours mother nature showers us with are just gorgeous. I've discovered and become obsessed with colouring die cuts with Distress Oxide inks... the colours are intense and I love the chalky matt finish when they are dry. I've used this technique for the first two cards...

This card uses dies and alphabet stamps from Concord & 9th... and the die cuts below are by sizzix... isn't that toadstool cute :) 

It just so happens these next two cards are both water coloured and are stamps from Colorado Craft Company, I love their large images for practising my painting..

This oak leaf image is my favourite, it's been a great year for acorns, lots of seeds and nuts in fact. I've been collecting the acorn cups when out walking so I can needle felt some acorns to go in them... not sure what I'm going to do with them yet but I quite like the idea of a garland :)

I hope you've been enjoying the autumn colours too :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

I'm back again after another short break and Blogger has been updated!!

Seems to be pretty much the same just a bit more sleek in style so hopefully this will 

go smoothly.  These two cards were fun to colour... well they are fun images so what 

did I expect. By turning them into little framed pictures I gave myself some fussy

 cutting to do but that's okay... I like doing that :)

I used a patterned paper with text on which helps make the colours pop as 

well as being a good neutral backdrop.

I quite like colouring with greys but I did enjoy bringing these party 

parrots to life with colour and texture too.

The wording is made up using a mixture of alphabet and sentiment stamps, 

I spotted this pun on Pinterest and had to use it :)

Well there's no social distancing going on with these two!!

Thanks for stopping by

Say it with Flowers

Well I'm gradually catching up now with all my cards to show you 

and this collection are all about the florals...

This gorgeous frame is a Hero Arts/Pinkfresh collaboration and I couldn't wait to try

 it embossed on dark card so I could use Prisma colour pencils to add some colour... 

When I had finished this next card I had flower pot envy!! Love this die set from MFT,

 all the pieces are well thought out and make such cute gardening tools, bench and flowers..

Flowers on the go!! Flora & Fauna have such whimsy images and this little van is 

just one of them. For a background I thought I'd try some subtle pattern making with 

a few smaller images... love the effect 😊

Saving my favourite til last and these silhouette stems from MFT are such a dream to stamp in 

layered colours thanks to my MISTI ... I was especially pleased with the daisies!

The vase is actually a take out coffee cup die that's been given a contemporary look.

Well that's all for this post, not sure what the next collection will be,

think we are heading towards a miscellaneous assortment!

Thanks for stopping by :)
