Autumn colours.


 Good morning, my card today is my DT make for this fortnight's challenge at Fab'n'Funky.
It was my turn to choose a theme and I guess it's a bit predictable but I do love 
AUTUMN COLOURS.
Well, this isn't at all what I had in mind when I started.. I bought a set of stencils (Autumn Mist) from Lavinia and I wanted to create a misty autumn morning vibe with the sun burning through but I think I was a bit too ambitious! I used the stencil with Lost Shadow D. Oxide ink then masked off the shape and added the pale yellow sunrays using another stencil. I stamped the fox sitting on the fairy path, cone branch and berries. I cut the arch shape from a kraft card blank, embossed the leaves and brayered some brown and orange inks over the top- a little bit messy, I think I was a bit heavy handed. I spent so long messing about with this card I didn't have the heart to start again, so here it is- warts and all! 

There are some beautiful cards over at Fab'n'Funky so please do take a look- hope you can find the time to join in.
Thanks for visiting

  19. The misty woodland atmosphere you’ve created is absolutely enchanting—there’s such a quiet magic in the soft sunrays and the way the fox nestles into the scene. The embossed leaves add beautiful texture and warmth, and even if it wasn’t what you first envisioned, it feels wonderfully evocative of autumn’s gentle hush. I love how the arch frames everything like a window into a peaceful forest moment.
