Autumn Theme for MMM and ATC Stamp and Swap Blog

By
It' October and that can only mean one thing - AUTUMN. Over on Make My Monday the challenge this week is to muse a RESIST TECHNIQUE - take a look at what I came up with


The leaf images were stamped with Rich Cocoa Memento ink and then coloured over with a white wax crayon. I then used some Stampin' Up inks - Pumpkin Pie and Really Rust and sponged these over. The wax crayon resists the ink and gives a really bright highlight to the card.


When you look to the side you can see that this is a different style of card - I found one here on Ruth's blog and she had a link to a YouTube video tutorial which I followed.
Here is the inside panel


This card uses the French Foliage stamp set.
The theme over on the ATC Stamp and Swap blog is also Autumn and I have used this technique to create my ATCs


Hope you can pop over and take a look - Jacqueline xx

    Difficult to think it is autumn with the very hot weather at the moment but this card certainly has a lovely autumnal feel

    Jacqueline, what a lovely and unusual card, I've never seen this shape before.

    You must show me the wax technique one Tuesday!

    Hi Jacqueline, I think your card is wonderful. the colours you have used are so rich (much more than the distress inks if I am honest lol) and its a great fold. Your ATCS are fab too!

    I saw this technique demonstrated at convention last year and was wowed by it then. Your card and ATCs are fabulous - the technique looks great with the French Foliage leaves. Vx

    This is a gorgeous Autumnal card Jacqueline! The white wax crayon resist technique gives a fab highlight. I love how you stamped and sponged inside the card, it looks stunning!

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making. Moving on This is where I usualy do all my 'messy' crafting hence all the Distress Inks and paints. However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
