More Autumn Colours

I can't get enough of autumn colours at the moment.  I love working with reds and yellows and orange and rust.  So this month's theme at our monthly craft group this coming Friday is just that - Colours of Autumn  and yes, it was my idea :)  Here is another card I made.  This time I wanted to include lots of texture and layers for the Country View October Challenge - Add Some Texture and Try It On Tuesday - Lots of Layers challenge


This started off as one backround which I had sponged with different shades of yellow and red acrylic before adding layers of stencilling and stamping:



Then I added my home made texture paste through a PaperArtsy leaves stencil and sponged colour over the texture paste, I like the white edging this leaves.  I didn't like it!  The leaves simply didn't go on the backround. 


But I had an inspiration to cut the backround up and use the pieces as tiles and it worked!  I really liked it:


Excuse the photos, the light was reflecting off something.  I find it hard at this time of year to get decent photos.

This was really fun to do, especially since I managed to 'rescue' it - always extra satisfying. 

If you are anywhere near Northampton on Friday, come and join us!  Scrap and Yap at 10.15-12.30 at the Jesus Centre, Abingdon Street.  Everyone is welcome and all materials supplied.

  1. ONE word Susan GORGEOUS!!! Gorgeous colors and panels for that card! I love those colors as well and you did famously on this project...or "rescue!" LOLOL Which I lived near Northampton because I would definitely come join you! :) What recipe do you use for your homemade texture paste? It looks so stout! I have a recipe that I use, but my paste is always too runny even when I keep adding powder? Any suggestions? Blessings to you my friend!

  3. Love the colours over the texture paste. It was a great idea to cut it into pieces! That always seem to work against a dark background!
