Autumn Leaves

Evening,

Another quick post, it's been a busy day. Mum is finally home from the hospital so the kids have been a bit hyper this evening.

We've seen lots of lovely autumn leaves when we have been out for our walks so this card seems very appropriate.

The background is multiple resist using a Kaliedacolor ink pad in some beautiful autumnal colours. 

Chloe does make me laugh when we are out. Every time she sees a bit of litter she points at it and says 'Naughty'. Quite the conservationist at the tender age of 2!! David Attenborough would be thrilled, especially as she loves his programs too.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs Kimx

Autumn Colours at CCM challenge 241

Evening Everyone,
We have a new challenge over at CCM, we are looking for Autumn Colours.

I love the Autumn, definitely my favourite season. Now it may have something to do with my birthday being on October,

 or the fact that it can be lovely and bright, but not nearly so hot as the summer,

or it may just be all the beautiful rich colours. Whatever it is I love it.

My card for the challenge was actually made several years ago (I told you I had hundreds of cards yet to be shared with you) using a fabulous old Stamps Happen stamp, and a mop up background.

I thought that I would take this opportunity to share a few more autumnal cards from this stash.

Another mop up background and a lovely Woodware tree designed by Jane Gill.

I have numerous leaf stamps,

and dies in my stash, and I absolutely love working with white embossing powder and inks for a bit of multiple resist.

Another leafy card, this time a little less Autumnal in colour.

Finally, where would the Autumn be without a few cobwebs and a wize old owl once again from Woodware.
I hope that you get the chance to play along with us. Please don't forget to check out what the rest of the team have come up with to inspire you.
Now I wonder what happens when I press post...…..how many times will I have to write this one before it finally gets past the Internet gremlins!!!
Happy Crafting and Hugs.

Autumn Colours at CCM

Afternoon Everyone,
I'm back again, and nearly on time too, with my card for the latest challenge over at CCM.
Maike is our host this time, and she is asking for your creations using Autumn Colours.

I think that this time of year is probably my favourite. I don't know how much of it is due to the fact that my birthday is in October, or that I just love the colours of Autumn, or that it is usually a little cooler, but whatever the reason it is definitely my time of year.

This fabulous toadstool stamp set is one of the brand new designs from Jane Gill for Woodware which is now part of Creative Expressions.

I love this set. I stamped and embossed it onto a piece of handmade background from my stash and then coloured it in using Distress inks.

When I get the new stamp sets from Jane to make the catalogue samples, I never know what I am going to do until I start to play

One thing I try very hard to do now is to use up all of those playtime bits and pieces instead of leaving them till later. Tomorrow never seems to come in my crafting universe, and I still have bits in my box from years ago.

It also means that I am a little ahead of the game if I am needed to make samples for the TV.

The first card is the one I sent to Creative Expressions for the catalogue, and the rest are created using my left over playtime bits and pieces.
I hope that you will find the time to join us for our Autumnal Colours challenge at CCM and please don't forget to pop by and show the rest of the DT some love.
Happy Crafting and Hugs
