Autumn

Here's another of the cards I like to make messing about with inks and embossing powder.
The stamp set I used is French Foliage by Stampin' Up.
I began with the splodges which I stamped with Versamark and embossed with clear EP, then came the sponging using Adirondack Cranberry and Caramel Inks, followed by the stamping of the leaves and text in a variety of autumnal coloured inks.
I then chopped the square panel into 4 smaller squares, inked the edges of each and mounted them on a couple of backing sheets. I decided to add one wayward leaf, just floating off the square.
I love these colours.
Today I have a touch of vertigo... I tried to do the Epley manoeuvre myself and made it worse, so I'm off to see the doctor this afternoon.

    I think you're going to have to do us all a video tutorial on inking Chrissie - you are just brilliant at it! I think I like this one even more than the one that made Craft Stamper last month - just gorgeous :-)

    I suffer from Labyrinthitis which is similar if not the same, so I know how you feel:(

    What an utterly gorgeous card Chrissie!
    I have no idea what the Epley manoeuvre is but it sounds very painful. Hope all went well this afternoon. Vx
