Listen to the Trees

Good morning folks.

It's time for a new challenge at Cardz4Guyz and it was my turn to choose the theme. I went pretty simple with the theme of:-

AUTUMN COLOURS

So a pretty wide remit, just use oranges, reds, yellows and browns in your makes!

Here's my take using a Crafty Individuals stamp from their Listen to the Trees set, that I bought quite a few years ago from Port Sunlight and it was in the bargain bucket!!

This uses the ink, spritz, stamp method to create the panel before I upped the design by chopping the panel into inch squares. You have to bite the bullet and just go with it sometimes! The inking was done with a mix of DI ink pads and Zig watercolour brush markers for the smaller areas and the area beneath the trees.

When dry, I trimmed the panel down to 4"x5" then used my guillotine to chop it up.

I labelled each square A1 to D5 so if by some awful chance I dropped them I could easily put them together again!

Each piece was lifted up on brown fun foam over a panel of brown card, leaving a slight gap between each square. A simple strip of card is helpful in lining up the pieces. The finished panel was trimmed where necessary before being added to an A5, off white card base. My sentiment from Uniko, was stamped in Memento Espresso Truffle on a matching die cut card panel, then added to a slightly larger panel of the same light brown card.

So where will the theme take you? We'd love to see your autumnal coloured projects in our gallery but if you are in need of some inspiration why not check out the rest of the DT here.
