Shades of Autumn

Our October challenge over at STAMPING SENSATIONS is

Shades of Autumn

We are sponsored by

We hope you get time to join us

Just remember we are a STAMPING challenge so please make the main part of your

project stamped!!

I decided to go with something different this month and had a go at stamping

on this little canvas. I wanted to create an Autumn garden scene.

I used a stamped set called Sheltering Tree.

It was stamped in early expresso for the trunk.

I then stamped the leaves in grapefruit grove, real red, and so saffron inks.

I watercoloured the base using garden green and daubed with a paintbrush

to add some further depth.

It's not a bad attempt for my first go and on hindsight I should have

painted it with gesso first to give it a better base.

But there you go.

Be sure and drop by Stamping Sensations for lots of inspiration

from my design team mates.
