Good morning folks, Monday is here again so it's time for a new challenge over at Make My Monday. We're continuing with our theme for October, AUTUMN, and this week would like to see a creation with a Tree or Trees.
My inspiration again includes a lot of leaves - almost my entire collection I think!
Supplies Used:
Solid Leaf Stamps - Mine are Rubber Stampede, Hero Arts and Crafty Individuals
Tree Stamp - Hobby Art
Script Stamp - Artistic Outpost
Distress Inks - Scattered Straw, Crushed Olive, Rusty Hinge
Brilliance Inks - Crimson Copper, Pearlescent Rust
VersaFine - Vintage Sepia
StazOn - Timber Brown
Nestabilities - Circle, Scallop Circle
Border Punch - Martha Stewart
Promarkers
Textured Natural Ribbon
Hole Punch, Needle & Thread
Beige Parchment Paper - Southfield Stationers
Shrink Plastic - White and Frosted
The background paper was made using the leaves which were layer stamped from lightest to darkest using the inks. I then sponged Scattered Straw over the top to blend everything together.
The tree was stamped on cream card with the sepia ink and clear embossed. It was trimmed to a circle with the die then set on a scalloped mat of brown and a further circle sponged with Rusty hinge round just the edges.
I made a shrink plastic embellishment with the tree stamp and StazOn ink. This was stamped on the frosted plastic, cut out with a scallop die and shrunk. I then added colour with the Promarkers and set on a further mat of white shrink plastic in a scalloped shape.
I made up the card with the brown border punched and trimmed with a strip of the textured ribbon on which I stitched the tree charm. I added the sentiment by Artistic Outpost to finish.
The Design Team have some gorgeous samples to inspire you so do pop over for a look and hope to see some gorgeous entries again.
