Autumn Colours

I think I've decided that autumn is perhaps my fav season. Being here in the Southern Hemisphere means while the rest of my blogging friends are madly blogging their Spring creations, I'm inspired by the stunning autumn leaves.
Here are my one layer ( I know 1 layer moi??? lol) autumn inspired trio of cards, I'm really pleased how they've turned out.

I masked off an area on the card, then embossed with copper embossing powder, I then sponged and inked the masked area and added a sentiment.
sorry the quality of the photos is poor, but that's the thing about autumn, shorter days :-)

I made these cards with the last Gingersnap Creations challenge in mind, which of course is a Copper Rust Colour challenge. I'm sad that Gingersnap challenges are finishing as I've found them so inspiring, when I started crafting seriously 2 years ago, I used to look and dream that one day I might be good enough to be a Ginger Gem. And I'm blessed to have been picked many times and also a Guest Designer last year. I'll miss you guys!!!

Vintage Twinchies

These were the first twinchies I made, they're for an art exchange at the Gingersnap creations Yahoo group. I love how they've turned out, they are as we speak winging there way to the States. So exciting waiting to see what twinchies I'll get back :-)

Have a great weekend

Travel Bookmark

I'm just sneeking this travel inspired bookmark in to the Once in a Blue Moon challenge over at Ginger Snap creations This challenge was to choose any of the previous art Exchanges, I chose travel bookmarks, I had been hoping to make a few, but time ran away with me and so it's just the one I'm afraid.
I have created a pretty paris themed bookmark, there is quite a bit of texture added with tissue paper, but the bookmark isn't bulky, so should work well as a bookmark.
Whole heap of stamps on here, including SU Artistic Etchings, Faith In Nature and Provencal.

Have a great week everyone.

Teen Tribute

Gosh, it's been so long- too long since I had a play along at GingerSnap Creations. Here's a little wall hanging I've made for the GC115 Challenge- Tribute To Teens. I have to say I just love this. I've coloured the base using inks and gold acrylic paint. I've stamped random images with Cherry Cobbler (SU Ink), then embellished with a few bits and bobs from my stash. Finally I've hung the piece using one of those tag things- don't know what they're called.

Over the next few months this will become my main blog, I hope you get chance to visit sometimes, have a great week.
