Hello and welcome to a new "I spy with my little eye" challenge taking place right here on my blog! Pauline and I are back with a new theme and hopefully you'll join in the fun too!
We had many fabulous entries last month, thank you all so much for playing along with us! Our top 2 are at the end of the post, remember, if you were selected then you have the option of joining us as a guest designer next month :)
It's Pauline's turn to select a theme and she chose:
I spy with my little eye....................
Shades of Autumn.
Here is my card:
I used a mix of stamps/brands on my card, I think they all work together so nicely! The carved pumpkins are an old stamp by Stampressions (Baby, Mama, Papa boo- sorry, no link) found at a thrift store, the flowers are from a new to me Aall and Create set - Flower Journey - and the tree/branches are Lavinia's Seasonal Tree. The background was inked with Villainous Potion, Chipped Saphire and Black Soot Distress Oxides/inks with a circle die cut as a moon mask. Lavinia's hill masks were used in the foreground and I also used a stamp from another Aall and Create set for some interest on the foreground. Some water splatter created the "orbs". Happy Autumn is from an old Hero Arts stamp kit.
I plan on sharing my card (above) with these challenges:
Everybody-Art-Challenge - Pumpkin // Unicorn Challenge - Autumn or Halloween // Bastel-Traum - Autumn Mood // FarmQuest General Store Challenge - Anything Farm or Country Goes // Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge - Anything Halloween // Crafting Happiness Challenges // Make My Monday - Autumn Colors // Double D Challenge - Pumpkins // The Card Concept - I was inspired by the beautiful colors and think the style might be "mixed Media"Love the way she captured the beautiful shades of Autumn on this wonderful scenic card! Be sure to visit Pauline's blog to read all about how she made it!
We're so happy to have a guest designer joining us this challenge and that is Maxine from Kiwime's Creations. So glad you joined us this month, Maxine!
What a beautiful way to showcase these gorgeous Autumn Leaves! Please visit Maxine's blog to read more about her creation! Below you can see that she completed her project by decorating the envelope to match her card. It's always such a nice touch to receive a matching envelope too!
