Hi everyone,
It's Saturday so it's time for another weekly Allsorts Challenge. This week Brenda has chosen the theme and it is
Anything Autumn
This week we have 2 fantastic prizes for you:
Firstly a stamp from Lavinia Stamps
and
Tim Holtz On the Edge Pennants die
Here’s my card.
I struggled a bit with this theme as I don’t really own much in the way of dedicated “autumn” stash, so I had to get a bit creative. I decided to make a scene in autumn colours centred around the nearest thing I have to a bare branch tree stamp, and to make an autumnal sky by blending some of my new DO inks and using a mask and hone made stencils for the sun and hills. I then over stamped and embossed my tree, hedgerow flowers and butterflies, mounted the scene simply and added a generic sentiment that I thought suited the general atmosphere of the card.
Stamps: tree - Penny Black “Fantasy” (3880K); hedgerow flowers and butterflies - “Meadow Flowers” free with Cardmaking magazine; sentiment - LotV “Everyday Grungy Messages”;
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Distress Oxide Inks;
Paper and twine from my stash.
Challenges I would like to enter:
Creative Craft Cottage #145 - Autumn and/or Hallowe’en
Creative Knockouts #423 - Embossing Delight (2nd entry)
My Time To Craft #468 - Hallowe'en or Fall Colours
Pearly Sparkles #67 - Autumn and/or Hallowe’en
(I have chosen yellow, orange and green)
(My Penny Black stamp is at wood-mounted and at least 13 years old, and my LotV sentiment probably 10 years old)
(I was inspired by colours orange and brown, and tree)

You need not have worried Pauline as the ink has done all the Autumnal work to create a perfect background for the PB Tree which from memory is called Fantasy.

You've managed autumn perfectly with these lovely colours and a great scene. Thanks so much for sharing with us at We Love Chocolate Baroque too.
You did a brilliant job creating a fall scene! I like how your creative mind works. Love this so much! Thank you for sharing with us at Four Seasons!
Gorgeous autumn scene, lovely colours, fabulous card;-))m
It's a perfect card for the theme, Pauline! I've not used autumn stamps either and just used autumn inks to make it fit.
Using acetate for homemade stencils is a great idea. I don't have any so I am using the torn papers instead. But do find acetate works well and you can use it again and again, with paper I usually have to throw it out after using.
Hi Ellie .. yes I thought I had none, but found some in a bag of “old craft stuff” I had put in the attic while not crafting, and (wrongly) thought I would never use again! It is good and as you say reusable, but my main problem is getting my old die cutting machine to cut through !!
This is gorgous Thanks for entering you card at Creative Craft Cottage
Wauw,super tof Leuk dat je meedoet met onze challenge bij Creative Craft Cottage

A beautiful card! Thanks so much for joining our autumn colours/Halloween challenge over at Country View xx
Hi Pauline
A gorgeous card. I love all the beautiful autumn colours you have used.
You asked about the Christmas card I had produced on my blog
http://jules-alwayswithaheart.blogspot.com/2021/10/cardio-christmas.html
The ink I used was the normal Distress Ink and I formed the hills by using torn copy paper.
The video in this pinterest pin inspired me and might help you. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/305330049742593251/
Love Jules xx
