More Autumnal Cards

Hello!

There are a number of challenges with an autumn theme at the moment so I have been playing with my distress inks and stencils.

First up I used a Clarity leaf stencil and sponged through with a range of distress inks before stamping a sentiment from Avery Elle in the centre.  I covered the leaf back up and added some splatter to give a sense of the leaf blowing across the card.  As this is a one layer card I shall link up at Less Is More's current one layer challenge.

 
While I was playing with distress inks I got another Clarity leaf stencil and added a selection of leaves to the right hand corner of the card base.  Another sentiment from Avery Elle and a sprinkle of sequins completes the design.


 I will link this card up at Time Out's current challenge inspired by the phrase, Autumn - the year's last, loveliest smile.  This is my second entry :)

I should really get back to making Christmas cards.....

Thanks for stopping by!

    A break from Xmas cards doesn't hurt, although this year I have tried to make less Autumn cards as I find I don't seem to send them! However these are Aurumn beauties and perfect blending and masking. Love the movement in your TO card and obviously the sequins, thanks for joining us x

    Both cards are so pretty Sarah - I really the splatter in the first but the sense of movement in the second is beautiful. Gorgeous Autumn colours and you captured the Time Out quote perfectly! Jill

    These are lovely, Sarah ... the soft stencilling is gorgeous ... fabulous with the delicate splatter ... and there's such a wonderful sense of movement in the different sizes of leaves! Always happy to have you playing along with us at Time Out! Hugs, Anita :)

    Your stenciled leaves are so colorful, Sarah, and that splatter really does make the leaf look like it's blowing in the breeze.
