October Challenge at Stamping Sensations

This month our Stamping Sensations challenge fits in nicely with Autumn as it is -  'Trees and Leaves'.

We are sponsored by Stamp Addicts and full details of the wonderful prize are shown over on the challenge blog - please follow our rules so you can be in with a chance of winning!

My card has been inspired by the colours from 2 other challenges -
(Pin)spirational (pic shown here on the right) and Colour My Heart Dare #362.  (Photo at the end of this post)

Using a piece of bright white card, I heat embossed the leaf stamps (which are from the Altenew Spring Bouquet set) before inking over it.

After inking the background I spattered some water drops and mixed some gold Perfect Pearls with some water and spattered a few tiny drops.
This has given a little shimmery effect to the tiny gold spots.

Matted it onto black card before fixing it to the white base card.

I added a white heat embossed sentiment from Technique Tuesday.

Hoping that you can come and join in with us this month at Stamping Sensations.

Have a great day! x

Great resist stamping for a really effective card Viv. We squeezed through yesterday, watched the replay last evening and we actually performed pretty well and TAA is a star, another SG in the making I wonder.

Gorgeous interpretation of the inspiration photos, Viv. Beautiful shading of the colours. The emboss resist technique is one of my favourites and this is a perfect example of it.

What a superb example of emboss-resist Viv! I love your amazing background and the little splatters which add such interest.

This is a technique I’ve used once or twice, tops, before. I love how the colors are added to the background instead of by the images. Pretty design.

What stunning blending of the colours and the white heat embossing just pops against them. Such a beautiful card x.
