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.

I would like to enter this into:

Addicted to stamps - autumn colours

Allsorts - trees and/or leaves

Just remember to STAMP!

anyone for witch leg soup?

I'm back with a Halloween treat box using this fabulous

WITCH LEG SOUP die!!

I love this die and I know my Grandkids will get a real kick out of it!!

I started my project by sizing up the die again some little boxes I had

and it suited perfectly.

I cut the die out using some black card and then just the legs using some lime green card.

I did hold on to all the inner bits so I could paper piece it later.

I printed off some wording from my computer and matted onto black card and

wrapped it round the top of the box.

Next I added some glue to the back of the black die cut

and adhered to the front of my box.

I added glue to the places I wanted to fill with the green using the inner cuts

from the green legs.

I wanted to have some purple sparkly bubbles so cut the body again and used the pieces

to fill the cauldron.

I used all the left over bubbles to pop round the sides and back of the box.

 I then filled the box with some treats and added a spooky sentiment!

For my project I have used

I hope you enjoyed my final project for Tutti Designs.

I have had such a great time playing with these amazing dies!
