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.
