Dragon got Tangoed!

I decided to focus on the image by using all the colours I wanted there and kept to purple and black for the papers.

I designed the papers on the computer and printed them out. I blended distress ink around the edge of the card and on the card for the sentiment.

The sentiment is LOTV and I stamped that and a Forever Friends frame using purple ink.

Another card featuring my new Autumn Happiness digi. The colours are from gorgeous inspiration photos (see below).

I blended purple distress ink round the outside of the card and on the sentiment card. I ripped the textured purple paper layer. I made the leaf with orange cross stitch layer using Craft Artist on my computer and then used green distress ink blotted around the outside with a sponge.

I coloured my digi with Promarkers. I stamped my LOTV sentiment using purple ink onto my purple distressed card.

From tea to leaves

With walks in the woods and all the challenges with great Autumnal colours and pictures you can hardly fail to be inspired.

I used the colour picker on CraftArtist to match the autumnal colours from the inspiration and colour challenge photos (seee photos at end of post!!) I then made the various leaf papers using the colours (using either leaf backgrounds coloured using my pallete or using the falling leaves brush). I then added the faux stitching on computer and colour matched it. I also played around and made the tag. I then printed the papers and elements off.

I stamped the tag with my LOTV Wishing you sunshine all year through stamp with brown ink. I used a clear brad and coloured it with Pumkin Promarker to match the card which I used to fix the tag. I had to swap the orientation of this for the layout I was using as it didn’t look right on the bottom right corner (hope that it is still ok for the challenge!)

I used the Autumn Hapiness digi stamp from Wee Stamps (so cute!!). I coloured using Promarkers and felt I did a good job of matching them for the colour challenge. I also tried colouring the background using a technique I saw in a Letraset demo on Create and Craft tv to hint at the sky and ground without using solid colour.

I was inspired by lots of challenges so I may as well enter them all! Thanks to all these challenge blogs for firing my imagination.
