The Colours of Autumn

Firstly I'd like to say I had a brilliant weekend I went to Crafty's in Liverpool to watch the fabulous Lindsay Mason demonstrating.  Thanks to her I have now spent a fortune on Tim Holtz Distress Inks and I have dyed fingers.


Here are two of the backgrounds I have made with the distressing inks.  I also entered the raffle while I was in Crafty's and I won a Rotatrim with all the accessories worth £79.99.  I was very pleased to have won this because I had just wrecked my current trimmer trying to cut paper while it had wet glue on it that's what I get for being impatient.


To create this card I have used Stamps: Habico Autumn Leaves.  Kars Ollyfant Autumn.  Card stock: White hammered, green.  Papers: Cream mullberry.  Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black, Cottage Ivy.  Tim Holtz Distress Ink Spiced Marmalade, Brushed Corduroy, Forest Moss.  Colourings: Copic markers.  Derwent Inktense watercolour pencils.  Sakura gel pen glaze.  Dies: Spellbinders Nestabilities Standard Circles Large.  Cuttlebug embossing folder Forest Branches.  Sizzix Sizzlits Leaves #2, #4. 


Hints and Tips
When using Distress Inks wear gloves to protect your hands from the ink. 

This card was entered into the following challenges:

Stamp Something Challenge:  Something with fall colours.
Cute Card Thursday:  Challenge 131 A Sketch by Leann.
Craftalicious Challenge:  Challenge #9 Harvest Festival/Autumn
