Crafty Cardmakers Challenge # 241

Hello my dear friends and welcome.  A very special welcome to my new followers.  Thank you so much for joining me on my creative journey.

There is a new Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and it is my turn to be host.  Our Theme for this fortnight is - Autumn Colours.   
In Australia we are actually just starting our Spring Season but, I do love the oranges, browns, yellows and greens of Autumn, so I am delighted to host this Challenge.  As always, you may enter whatever you wish to create.  Just make sure you use our Autumn Colours Theme.

I have created an Art Journal page.  I actually made this some months ago and decided to keep it for this Challenge.

A few close-ups first.

For the sub strata I used a sheet from a paper pad by Tim Holtz (Can't remember what it's called) and then created the colour with my fave Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals.   I mixed the powder with water and then used a paint brush to sploosh the colour onto the background.  I then simply sprayed over it with water to move the colour around and used the paint brush to add the splashes..
Lots of stamping with archival ink and a bit of doodling around the edges.

A piece of fibre ribbon for added texture and lots of layering with bits of ephemera.


Hope you will take the time to join in.  For more inspiration please visit the CCM blog and check out the fabulous creations by the rest of the Team.
So looking forward to seeing your creations!

  9. Absolutely glorious - the colours, the layers, the textures... it all adds up to a really beautiful feast of autumn delights. It's funny, I never touch orange/red/yellow craft-wise until autumn hits, and then I'm more than happy to dive in, but it's only for that short season! Hope to come and play along with your lovely theme.

  12. Margaret, I'm head over heels with your autumn inspired journal page! Those ephemera layers are absolutely inspiring and your 'splooshes' of fall color on the background are just perfect! Love this, can you tell? Hugs!
