Birthday knits and leaves

Hello, crafting friends!

 

Happy Saturday and welcome to another fun challenge at Addicted to CAS. In the Northern hemisphere the season is changing to shorter days and colder weather, and this fortnight's hostess with the mostest, Sue, has chosen a code word to reflect that:

 

I love all the colours and images of autumn and have got myself good and inky with my take on it!

 

I started by positioning Funky Fossil's Knitted stencil over a card front and sponging turquoise ink into it, fading the colour out towards the top and right hand side of the card. I topped that background with a leaf and die cut sentiment grouping.

 

To make the leaf, I sponged inks in autumnal colours onto a piece of white card then stamped the maple leaf from Reverse Confetti's Fall Foliage onto it in rust coloured ink. I cut it out and then had fun splattering it with diluted inks and paints. When it was dry, I positioned it to the card front with the 'hello' sentiment from The Greetery's Arched Sentiments which was stamped and die cut.

Okay, so now it's your turn! Do hop over to the Addicted to CAS challenge site for some great autumn inspiration won't you. You'll find the Linky Tool at the bottom of the post and can use it to link up your own creation. Don't forget to keep your card nice and clean and simple, with plenty of lovely clear space! We can't wait to see what you make!

CHALLENGES

I'm linking this card up at the Fusion Card Challenge where I got very excited by the photo inspiration (see below); also joining in with the Things That Fall challenge at Double D; also playing at Make My Monday where the challenge is Autumn Flora and Fauna; and last but not least, entering the Happy Little Stampers Stencil challenge where Anything Goes.
