Autumn Canvass

It's another beautiful Autumnal day out side today, so I am going with it ;0) The The stamp man are on week 7 and each fortnight they have a challenge and they're having, Autumn. Cindy over at Whimsical Musings asked me to play along,  you can enter anything. I have to say I love her other blog I owe it all to him if you get time pop along.  Also Gingersnap Creations who are asking for nutrals and one colour my colour is red! The rest is pretty nutral. And finally but by no mean least is the wonderful Stamping Sisters in Christ are asking for us to think about the Lords creations. I think the seasons are a wonderful part of the creation.

Here is a close up. You really wouldn't believe the amount of layers on this. First I put some Texture Paste on the canvass (left over night to dry) then I got some acrylic paints out, you should be able to see the hills and sky (you can make photos larger if you want to have a look) then tissue paper and lots of it all stamped with DIs and glued on (I used PVA 1/2 and 1/2 with water) Then I die cut out my leaves with the new TH die. This is gong to be so versatile. I used the technique  from page 33 of Tim's book CCs,  with a large  piece of quality card stock then allowed to dry, then die cut. And a final little touch of flakes of foil. The acyclic paints, texture paste and foil are available at the Altered Element. Do pop along to all the DTs I have taken part with they have some stunning talent to show you. Love Dawn xx

SCD Colour theme 'Autumn Colours orange brown & Gold'

 

It's Friday again, and a new month. I have great news your going to love this months theme. You can make ANYTHING! Yes that's right, anything. All this month we will have a colour combo each week for you to follow. You can make one of our previous challenges like an inchie, arch,  twinchie, ATC or even a card the ball is in your court so do play ;0). This is a simple card my daughter-in-law was in hospital all yesterday having an operation and I have my beautiful grandson since Wed. so it has been a little difficult to do any thing too time consuming. However, as we can make anything I hope to alter something this month using the colour combo so I think this month is going to be so much fun! Pop along  Here to have a look at the other DT members who have yet again done a super job. I had a great time looking at all your arches through the month of Sept. and I hope you will join us all again this month. So get your creative juices flowing, and I will see you soon. Love Dawn xx.

Morning every one. How have you been? I am working on lots of stuff at the moment, keeping myself busy so not been posting as I usually would with the tea cups and work desks. I hope to pop round and have a nosey at what you have all been up to though. I did manage to get round all the entries from last weeks SCD challenge though and you really know how to have fun with arches and stars. This week it's the last of our Arches and the theme is 'Birds' it's a great theme isn't it? You should pop and have a look at the DT team if you haven't already there are some really great ideas and all to give you inspiration and for us to all have a bit of fun!

Here is a close up of my Arch. I got carried away with DIs used lot of colours and I really enjoy using my vintage music sheets for back grounds, even more so when it's birds lol I have stamped various images and cut out and layered them, stuck a vintage button on and letter in metal and you have my theme for my bird arch, which is Autumn. Hubby and I went out and you could really smell it in the air. All my trees leaves have nearly fell off already, so it was on my mind this week. Any way I hope you can join in I'll be back with some more projects  soon, I hope you have lots of fun it's almost week end. Love Dawn xx
