Hi Crafty Friends and Happy Wednesday! Today begins a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog. The Optional Twist this month is The Colors of Autumn and we have 2 generous sponsors: Hetty Clare and Sweet November Stamps.
I've decided to use the optional twist on my project this month. Autumn is my favorite time of year however we don't get much of an Autumn here in Florida. The forecast today is clear skies and 89 degrees F. I've gotta get my Autumn any way I can!
I've used the Autumn Silhouettes Stamp Set by Gina K. Designs to create this card. To start, I've masked off a side panel and blended 3 Catherine Pooler Inks in lovely autumn colors. Once dried, I used Memento Espresso Truffle Dye Ink to stamp the leaves and sentiment.
I've stamped the leaves in different orientations in order to give the appearance of movement. To finish the card, I've matted the focal panel with brown card and added 3 gold gems from Kat Scrappiness.
I hope you'll visit the challenge and join in. We would love to see your Anything Goes projects, and if you feel like you want to try the twist, we would love that too!
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna

Donna, I feel you, we in the Houston area don't get much of Autumn or Spring as well. I will say though, it's been wonderful here compared to July! And we actually have leaves falling, brown as usual heehee. Anyway, love this CAS card. Your inking is awesome and the leaves stamped perfectly. May you have some nice cool fronts come through soon!
