Thanks for your thoughtfulness

 




Autumn is in the air at both Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping challenges. So my DT cards reflect that. To find out more about how I made the cards and see the prizes please scroll down.

At Stamping Sensations we have an optional theme of Anything Autumn or anything goes. For my DT card I used a stamp set from AALL & Create called crunched leaf drop. I took a piece of white card and swapped ink pads over it before stamping the leaves and then fussy cut them. It was only after I made it that I discovered there is a matching die set (which is now ordered!) as it was fiddly to cut them out. The gold spheres on the background are also stamps from the same set embossed with gold powder. The sentiment is from a Spellbinders set with a die to cut it out.


Our prize this month is a £25 store voucher from Personal Impressions (inc pps, winner meets costs of any additional spend). Personal Impressions is one of the UK’s leading brand managers/wholesalers/distributors in the arts and crafts industry, specialising in mixed media, papercrafts, card-making, scrapbooking and journaling. PI are proud to represent over 70 brands from global, recognisable brands to small, niche and new.

At We Love Stamping it's also Autumn as an optional theme or anything goes.

I used a Spellbinders stamp set for my card on which I paper pieced the pumpkin with a scrap of printed paper that had some texture on it and  then coloured the foliage with promarkers.

There are two prizes of Lavinia Stamps and stencil (photos not to scale). Please note, we (Lavinia) cannot provide exchanges/replacements/refunds for any products received through this third-party giveaway.

Both fit the Autumnal theme so nicely Lynn, the Pumpkin card has a softer feel to it, but as I think you know those Crunched leaf drops really are my all time favourite stamps and dies for this time of year.

Two very beautiful Autumnal cards Lynn. I love those crushed leaves and gorgeous background paper in the first. The second one has gorgeous background paper too which works beautifully with your pumpkin display.

What a lovely pair of cards, Lynn. I particularly love the first card - it was so worth the fiddly cutting out to get those beautiful leaves.
Take care,
Hugs,

Two lovely Autumnal cards Lynn, the leaves look fabulous and I can imagine how fiddly the must have been cutting out, no wonder you've ordered the matching die as I think these stamps will get lots of inking.
