Colours of Autumn

I love the colours of autumn, so rich and beautiful.  My card today is inspired by these colours:

I used clarity card and embossed Spellbinders labels 28.

I masked the shape and brayered over the card using Big and Juicy Spice ink pad.

I stamped the Pilkington Lane stamp inside the shape using Memento ink and coloured the image using my Spectrum Noirs.

I matted the card onto gold linen card.

I used matching orange card and again matted this onto gold linen card.

I created the card blank using some gorgeous pearlescent green card I bought from PaperMill (I love this card and sadly it is now nearly all gone!)

I cut the decorative corners using a Spellbinders Fleur de Lis die.

The sentiment is computer generated, cut using Spellbinders Labels 28 die.

I purchased a splodgeaway mat a few weeks ago as I found brayering difficult and also I hated the amount of ink it wasted.  I am delighted with my purchase.  I find I get better results, both with brayering and using my blending tool around the edges, it is very easy to clean, and you don't have to waste any ink.  I got the 12 x 12 size and this was definitely one of my 'better' purchases.  An excellent invention!
