AUTUMN LEAVES

I love Autumn and all the gorgeous colours in the leaves, it has been quite windy here this week and there is a carpet of leaves everywhere you go, don't you just love kicking through them and seeing the colours fly - or is that just me being a kid again!!!!  This led me to my entry for this weeks Sunday Stampers challenge how could I resist; with images of carpets of leaves in my head  I cut the leaf shapes with my new Nestabilities die (made me get them out of the packaging - how bad is that!!) onto various colours of card and inked with DI while they were still in the die (after cutting and embossing ) with rusty hinge vintage photo, barn door, crushed olive.  The background was crackled using adirondack dabbers in bottle and citrus with the paint and pva technique shared by Hels here I think and in Craft Stamper Mag ages ago - thanks Hels :-() for sharing. The verse is from a  nature stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Bye for now
