I love our inspiration photo for you this month at Inspiration Station as I'm in full Autumn mode and looking forward to some cooler weather here in Wales. I decided to create some home deco with some of Tim Holtz leaf dies Leaf Fragments.
I used some old packaging - tearing off the top layer to reveal that lovely corrugated inside. I added some gesso in places. I created the panel on some water colour paper. I added some Distress Oxide Ink around the edges in Rusty Hinge, Ground Espresso, and Wild Honey.
My leaf stamping were from various sets - an old Clearly Besotted leaf set and some leaves from Tracy Evans at Aallandcreate.
The leaves were cut out of backgrounds I had lying around - some were mop ups, some were card fronts I hadn't liked and some were stencils backgrounds. I added some stamping with an old Hero Arts wooden stamp! I don't often use wooden stamps but some are my old favourites and it's actually nice not to have to look for a block to put them on! I added extra stamping to the background.
I added some material behind the word Autumn which was also added to the bottom of the piece. I love these little hangers from Tim Holtz and I found the perfect quote which fit in the space.
I'm adding this into the following:

So glad this post came up first and I got to see this fabulous MM arty creation Fiona. Love corrugated cardboard as it is so versatile. Love your leaves and all the wonderful stampings. Love the grungy look.
ReplyDeleteFabulous MM project! The repurposed cardboard makes a great base for the fall leaves. Thanks for sharing with A Cut Above's September Challenge.
