How To Create A Warm Autumn Card

Hello crafty friends

I have a mixed media card to share with you today. The theme on the Colourcraft blog is Autumn colours so i will show you how to create this look with Brusho Crystal Powders.

Take a blank card and open it up. Place newspaper over the half you want to keep blank and then spray the other side with water. Sprinkle Rose Red across the card and then Orange,OST Red and Sandstone, the colours will blend together and create this fallen leaves look.

Once the card has dried you can begin adding stamps to the background. I used a stamp that created an outline instead of a silhouette so that the background colours would show through.

I used a banner die to cut out three lots of flags using Autumn toned pattered papers. I layered them together and then glued them in place. I used a sentiment die cut to finish off the card.

Thank you for visiting.

Berry71bleu: October Challenge

I am playing along at http://berry71bleu.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/october-challenge-autumn-is-in-air.html. the theme for this month's challenge is Autumn and to use this mood board as inspiration.

my layout was inspired by the brown and rust colours of fall.

 I tried to capture the moment fall begins when the air has a slight chill but still mild and when the foliage starts to turn from green to orange.

 I achieved the tattered paper effect by wetting the edges of the paper until it was almost mushy. I then scrunched up the paper and set it using a heating tool.

 to get a more layered look to your page you could try tucking things between the layers.

 I used Tim Holtz Tattered Leaves die cutter  the Sizzixs Bigz version. I used burn sienna ink with Tim Holtz Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo distress inks to add colour to the leaves then I  wet the edges and rolled them up to add dimension.

the products I used on this project are:
Dear Lizzy lucky charm
Create Paper Pink Plum
Papermania Capsule Collection Bexley Black
Papermania Persimmon  A5 paper pad
large sunflower stamp
Anna Griffin vintage photo corners
Tim Holtz Bigz Tattered Leaves
