Autumn Card

For this months blog challenge on Daisy Chains, I am sharing a DT card made with this months Autumn theme in mind.

I used one of the mdf fairy doors from the Dreamees  kit to draw around for the template of my card onto kraft card and then used their Fantasy Fairydoor stamp set to make my little house for a mouse.

I stamped the door a few times to layer up elements of the door such as the panels, hinges, door knocker and window (which also has glossy accent on it).

For the leaves around the house and the mouse, I used the Dreamees Fall & Foilage stamp set onto some Tim Holtz kraft core nostalgic collection textured cardstock. I love this 10.8cn  x  14cm card pack by co-ordinations as it has 24 colours in matching hues with a few sheets of each and think these particular colours are perfect for Autumn leaves.

The little mouse came from the Autumn Days stamp set, also by the Dreamees.

Although the little mouse looks very white in these pictures, it is actually a pale grey one.

Pop over to the Daisy Chains blog page and see what the rest of the design team have been making.

ATCs For January 2018 Group Swap - Using Inkilicious & Dreamees Stamps

The theme for the January ATCs this months group swap is "The Elements" - rain/wind/fire/earth.
So I chose the first 3 as I had stamps for the theme.

I chose the Inkylicious Rain Drops stamp for my first ATC. I used T im Holtz broken china distress ink for the background.

I backed it onto cordinating card stock and Hunkydory rainbow mirri board,

I also added some glossy accent for texture.  The light just catches it at this angle.

For my second ATC I chose the little mouse from The Dreamees Autumn Days stamp set to represent wind. The mouse is holding onto the cocktail umbrella as its being swept away. T stamped the mouse with a memento dye baded ink pad in rich cocoa and coloured him in with the brown and pink dinky inkies. I used Tim Holtz broken china distress ink on the background to follow on from the first ATC and a green dinky inky for the grass. The grass stamp was a free stamp from a craft magazine.

I backed the ATC onto the same blue coordinating cardstock and ruffled the cocktail umbrella up to look windswept. I even broke some of the spokes as the always seems to happen to your brolly on a windy day!

My third ATC is fire and used The Dreamees By the Fire stamp set for this one. First I inked my cardstock with Tim Holtz spiced marmalade distress ink and a yellow dinky inky. I dried the ink off with a heat gun before stamping with the same memento rich cocoa ink pad. I used Tim Holtz spiced marmalade distress ink to bring out the orange in the flames and a brown dinky inky for the fireplace and logs.

I backed the card onto some cordinating brown cardstock and gold mirri board.

I added some glossy accent to the mantlepiece and a little shimmer to the flames with a spectrum noir sparkle clear overlay pen.

The wording was stamped with the Crafters Companion Classic alphabet stamp set;
