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

    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

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

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
